This post was developed in partnership with Similac. All opinions are my own.
As a second time mom, I'm still amazed at how different Little Miss is from her brother. I figured having some experience under my belt at this whole "parenting" gig the second time around would be a breeze. If our Sassy Pants toddler has taught me anything it's that she is her own individual with her very own way of doing everything, including meal time. From the beginning, she has been a happy eater so getting her to eat has never been the problem. Having fast, nutritious options for her little hands is the key.
It seems like as soon as she started to put a few words together I could make out her saying, "I do it!" at meal time. She has been all about doing everything for herself these days. She eats really well, but she picks and chooses which items she wants on her plate, which means sometimes the veggies are left behind. We've found a way to keep us all smiling during meals at home or on the go. 
The New Go & Grow by Similac feature delicious fruit and vegetable purees that our toddler loves. The easy grab and go design helps us to know she's getting her daily servings of fruits and veggies when we're away from home. Between tutoring, swim lessons, park play dates, summer reading programs and running errands our lunches are often away from home. I like to keep a few Go & Grow by Similac food pouches in my diaper bag for those times when we don't make it home for lunch. She just loves to eat them, all by herself of course.
- DHA- like that found in fish, for toddler’s developing brain
- Lutein- like that found in spinach, for eye health
- Vitamin E- like that found in broccoli, for growth and development
While she's busy discovering the world around her by jumping into puddles, smelling the flowers and stepping over the cracks in the sidewalk, I feel confident the gaps in her diet are being met by the food pouch she's enjoying while on her own little picnic. Her favorite flavor to grab is the Mango, Sweet Potato, and Pear puree, she seems to point to that flavor too. Not sure if she remembers the color or recognizes the picture, but it's funny how with everything now this girl knows exactly what she wants.
Toddlers are great, aren't they? What are your toddler's favorite fruits or veggies?
These pouches look like a good choice for when my 1 year old grandson visits. We often take him for a stroll to the park so this would be easy and nutritious.
ReplyDeletethese are so cool,i wish they had these when my adult kids were babies makes like so much easier
ReplyDeleteThese look like such a great idea for toddlers! Thanks for posting about them.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome,i wish i had this back decades ago when my kids were babies
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty neat for kids today! They give the kids so many things,that they might be able to get in their diet. My grand son ate these when he was younger and now his baby sister is enjoying them now.
ReplyDeleteThese pouches are awesome! I love that your child can hold them and essentially feed themselves. :) I would have loved to have had these when mine were younger! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Mine just went fully to solids a few months ago, but I may sneak him one in with his apple sauce pouches and see what he thinks!
ReplyDeleteThese would be great to have for the days I babysit!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that similac made anything other than formula; thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are grown and most of our grandkids are older, so I don't know if they would eat these, but I would try & see. They may think it is for babies, because of the packaging & the fact that the food is pureed.
ReplyDeleteThey have eaten that apple sauce in a pouch like that. I really wished this was around when my kids were young! I puréed their own food and put it in baggies or Tupperware containers in the fridge for later. These are really handy. TY for the coupon & sharing!
I've never seen or heard of these....I've been a Similac fan for many years. Nice addition to their product line. We will be looking for them!
ReplyDeleteThey didn't have these when my girls were little. I wish they had though! They would be great for travel.
ReplyDeleteThese are nice easy take alongs.
ReplyDeleteThese pouches are so great. My Grandkids love them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! These snacks sound awesome!

ReplyDeleteThese are great for growing kids. They are easy to use and travel well. Great for parents too with easy cleanup.
ReplyDeleteAt one time, years ago, I would have done just about anything to get my kids to eat their veggies! Kudos to Similac for helping us moms and for thinking of these cool ways for kids to get what they need to be and stay healthy!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Similac made these! My kids have always loved pouches. They are such convenient snacks.

ReplyDeleteMy grand daughter loves these things. Really convenient too.
ReplyDeleteI have a 2 year old that loves his veggies but hates most fruits, and I have a 3 year old who loves her fruits but hates all veggies. Thank you so much for the information, this will be a great way to incorporate veggies back into her diet!!
ReplyDeleteVery important to introduce veggies to your child at a young age. And in these pretty pouches your child will be more inclined to eat.
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you have an option for a healthy go food
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! I should look into these!!
ReplyDeleteVery handy to have to give to your little ones.

ReplyDeleteCute little girl, good info
ReplyDeleteSounds good.

ReplyDeleteWell if anything can make toddlers like veggies, perhaps this can!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great to try! My daughter love seating out of pouches and I had no idea Similac made it!
ReplyDeleteMy 5 year old is autistic so these are a lifesaver on days he just won't eat.
ReplyDeleteI may just have to buy these for myself! They are nutritious, delicious and convenient! Just what the surgeon ordered after my oral surgery! I wonder if they have turkey 🦃 flavor for Thanksgiving! 😜 Thank you for sharing & Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that similac made anything other than formula

ReplyDeleteWow, looks like a great product. Sure kids would love them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome product
ReplyDeleteLooking good for the young ones
ReplyDeleteThis looks very good for little ones.
ReplyDeleteThese look like such a great idea--a much better choice than some alternatives out there for beverages that a toddler can drink! My son's favorite when he was this age was definitely sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI think any toddler would love to eat these
ReplyDeleteI have been using these pouches after reading this blog. These things are quite tasty and they love them
ReplyDeleteThese sound great. I wish they were around when my girl was little! Sure is amazing how times have changed.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little model!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves these. Even the fruit ones. She wont eat any meat though.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed more and more when I read more of these reviews! When I was raising babies, Similac only dealt in formula. Now they have Go & Grow food pouches with veggies and fruit that toddlers love to eat! This is awesome! If I were a mom again nowadays, I would buy these yummy convenient pouches for my kids. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletemy cousins are awful at eating anything that isn't junk. i should definitely recommend this to my uncle... :)
ReplyDeleteMy little girl will eat the fruit and vegetable purees no problem. I have not tried the drink though.
