I purchased reusable pouches today from Amazon because my LO is in love with them still at age 2, and I can easily get veggies or dairy down him at least one time a day at snack time.
I tried looking up recipes on Pinterest but every link I seemed to click on was broken, ugh. Anyone have any recipes they want to share? I have a ton of different veggies I can steam and bough yogurt today in preparation.

I mix 2% plain Greek yogurt with unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon! It's pretty good. I eat it for breakfast sometimes too!

@Ms. RV: The WeeSprouts! I got the 5 oz and they seem huge, haha! I am spending a fortune on pouches so figured I should take the time and make a batch a week to hopefully save money. Which do you have?

@Mrs. Lion: Thank you! I will try that one in the morning for breakfast as we are running out the door early since I have to work.

@Tanjowen: Ohhhhh I need to look into this! DD loves them and I hesitate on giving her so many..
How long can they stay in fridge? Can you freeze?!

@FaithFertility: Yes, these can be kept frozen! And they can be washed in the dishwasher too. I was torn between these and the Squooshi ones, but reviews said these cleaned easiest, so they won out. I am a bit worried that I should have gone with the smallest size as my LO is very suspicious of any change, but we'll find out tomorrow if he cares.

@Tanjowen: Squeazy Snackers. Not as easy to squeeze but much easier to clean.

Sweet potatoes with a bit of yogurt or milk and cinnamon is a huge hit!
Another basic one is a spaghetti squash mixed with applesauce. It's basically the same consistency.
My kids still both eat pouches all the time. Sometimes I put just plain applesauce or yogurt because it's easier!

We use little green pouch and usually just put applesauce for a snack. Whatever you make, make sure it's pretty funny! I made something that was thicker and they were not fans.

@Tanjowen: I make the ones for myself in small mason jars because for some reason the idea of eating out of a pouch grosses me out 
but my 3 year old has never met a pouch he doesn't like. He's so picky but man he will eat anything in pouch form haha

@T.H.O.U.: do you puree the spaghetti squash?? I would have never thought to try that!

If you make something too thick amd want to sneak a veggie in, add some steamed, pureed zucchini to it. It's pretty flavorless but adds a ton of liquid. Mango and yogurt pair well with lightly flavored veggies like zucchini, chickpeas or beans, green beans.

@regberadaisy: Yeah, we have tried the ones with quinoa, and he makes faces and hands them back to me.
@Mrs. Lion: Seriously though, the pouch addiction is crazy, haha!
@MrsSRS: Good idea on the zucchini, thank you. I saw one just a minute ago for a blueberry, oatmeal and applesauce pouch that I"m going to try too (18 blueberries, 2 tbsp applesauce, 1/2 tbsp oatmeal).

@Tanjowen: you've inspired me to look up breakfast recipes. That's our hardest meal to squeeze in. Is that blueberry one, per pouch?

@regberadaisy: Yes, but it was for a 3 oz pouch, so I"m going to double it. I just stumbled across Happy Family's website and they list recipes, yay!

Check the ingredients on LO'S favorite pouches! Then make it about half the first ingredient, and a bit of each of the rest of them.

@Mrs. Lion: yup! It has a ton of natural liquids so you don't even need to water it down. Any squash really works but that's basically the blandest we found.

Are the reusable pouches see-through? My kid is pretty picky about new foods and I think she would rebel if I gave her green applesauce lol.

@caterw: We have this one and only a small portion is see through.
We got these when they were on sale for like $1. I dont love them but they do work well and we've used them many times.
