Fruit and veggie purees have come a long way, baby. Today’s baby food come in a myriad of flavor combos, often sealed up in squeezable pouches. Perfect for little hands! And while purees may have originally been intended for your darling toothless cherub, these pouches are equally perfect for tossing in your diaper bag and your preschooler’s lunch box.

Of course I can’t help myself from trying my own hand at creating these packable pouches. The Infantino Squeeze Station makes easy work of the task, meaning I have easy DIY snacks at the ready for both of my girls. I shared some of my favorite flavor combination with The ListTV–check them out below!
