Baby Food Tasting

 8/12/22 Pre shabbas dinner! Once Upon a Farm Organic Fruit & Veggie Blend Mama Blueberry I found these at the Heirloom Giant but have also picked them up at Whole Foods.  It's a good cold non-dairy option as we are still trying to avoid dairy.  I started calling food "Yum Yum" which Rafi pronounces "Mama"; when I pulled out the Mama Blueberry he immediately said "Ma Ma". The 50 calories is about half of what other pouches offer so we'll need to supplement.  Apple is the primary ingredient followed by sweet potato; blueberry is actually third with purified water and coconut milk as the only other ones. Charles: If blue apple had a taste.  The blueberry color overwhelms everything else; the apple taste overwhelms everything else. Brenna: It's not bad.  I like it.  You feel like the blueberry texture, but there is a lightness - can taste the coconut milk.  It's like a lighter smoothie.  Apple juice and an aftertaste at the end. Rafi: <...

8/8/22 Sprout Organic Smoothie - Blueberry Banana with Coconut Milk, Veggies & Flax Seed I found this while shopping at Sprouts, though I the grocery store Sprouts is separate from the baby food company Sprout.  As we are still trying to have Rafi avoid dairy, this seemed like a fun buy for him.  We all liked it.  Per the ingredients, purple carrots are the veggie.  I think this would have been helpful to put on the front rather than small print.  Rafi has been exposed to all of these foods before. Charles: Smells like banana; looks like blueberry.  Came out a little thick.  Tasted the blueberry on the second go around (yes, I had a second taste rather than Brenna for a change). Brenna: Simple, flavorful.  Light with a tang.  Thicker but still smooth.  Tastes more smoothie than puree. Rafi: <wants more> Kosher Pareve under the OU.
