Save money on baby pouches with me

My baby loves pouches but I don’t love the price when buying them for at least 1 meal sometime more per day.

Doing a rough estimate, the average of baby pouches cost about $1.75. Now imagine giving the baby 2 a day. That’s $25 per week.

I use ingredients that I usually have in the house to make pouches for my baby so I’m not wasting food or money!

I’m not saying that I never buy pouches because I do. I usually buy the pouches that have ingredients that I don’t usually have in my house. So for example, I never buy kale to eat so I when I buy pouches, I buy some that have kale.

So here is what I put into the pouches. I will mash/blend these and either store them or serve right away!

*you may want to blend the cottage cheese one up or else the chunks get stuck*

Hope this helps 😊

Making homemade baby pouches is not only budget-friendly but also a great way to ensure your little one gets nutritious meals. With the rising costs of pre-packaged baby food, why not explore some simple and healthy recipes? You can create flavors your baby loves using ingredients you already have at home, such as sweet potatoes, mangoes, and applesauce. One tasty option is a Sweet Potato Mango Applesauce, which is packed with vitamins and fiber. Just blend cooked sweet potatoes with mango and a touch of applesauce for a delightful treat. Another option is Peaches Carrot Applesauce. Steam and blend carrots with ripe peaches for a fruity vegetable medley your baby will enjoy. Don't forget about Blackberry Blueberry Cottage Cheese! This option offers a protein boost and a mix of sweet and tangy flavors. Just mash together fresh blackberries, blueberries, and smooth cottage cheese, ensuring that it's blended well to avoid chunks. Experimenting with different combinations can make mealtime exciting for your baby. Plus, by controlling what goes into these pouches, you're avoiding preservatives and added sugars found in many commercial baby foods. Get creative with your ingredients and happy blending!
