Baby Food Tasting

9/18/22 Happy Baby: Apples, Guavas & Beets Another Stage 2 as we are trying to clear stuff out.  Rafi and Brenna both had this before but I never tried it.  Odd combination of flavors/ingredients but it seems to work. Charles: Definitely taste the apple.  Very smooth.  Good balance of sweet and tart. Brenna: Fruity, tropical apple sauce but less apple. Rafi: <wants more>  Though he seems a little picky today and doesn't want to finish it until dinner (we started this over lunch).   Kosher Pareve under the OU.

8/14/22 I tried posting this a few weeks ago, but there were several issues. Happy Baby: Nutty Blends Organic Apples with 1 tsp Walnut Butter As far as we can tell, Rafi has not had walnut.  After this, two more days. Charles: Just apple flavored.  Nothing else.  I guess that's the point - limit the amount of walnut. Brenna: Tangy.  Now that now I know it's walnut, I can taste the walnut.  Interesting, different mix of textures.  Not bad.  Kind of fallish. Rafi: <wants more>  At only 3 ounces (though 100  calories), he still wanted something else. Kosher Pareve under the OU.

July 3, 2022 Happy Baby: Nutty Blends Organic Bananas with 1/2 tsp Peanut Butter Rafi has had plenty of bananas.  He got exposed to peanut butter through Bamba.  We had a special guest this afternoon. This had the longest name so far.  The pouch is only 3 oz compared to 3.5-4 oz of other products.  However, the 90 calories matches up with other pouches. Abrielle: This is fine.  I'd eat this again. Brenna: It's fine. <Takes second scoop> Charles: I taste the banana and lemon juice.  Not that much peanut butter taste.  It looks like liquidy peanut butter, but I struggled with the taste.  Brenna and Abrielle could taste the peanut butter.  If they made it too thick (more peanut butter), babies may not be able to eat it.  Combinations of banana and peanut butter (and chocolate!) are usually my favorite. Rafi: <wants more> Kosher Pareve under the OU.

4/4/22  Happy Baby: Bananas, Sweet Potatoes & Papaya We're a little behind so this is from a month plus ago.  This was an odd combination of flavors.  I can't remember the last time I had papaya.  It was Rafi's first time having papaya. Charles: Sweet.  Very sweet with a hint of the potato.  I do like the color. Brenna: Tastes tropical and tangy.  And smooth. Rafi - <wants more> Kosher Pareve under the OU.

 1/6/21 Happy Baby: Prunes No Prune Hands . Brenna: Tastes like smooth velvety prune.  With less sugar. Charles: Had a sweet raisin taste at first before going to the tarty prune.  Smooth. Rafi: <wants more> So I have a negative association with prunes.  I was kind of forced to have them in my younger days.  I can now appreciate prunes cooked with chicken or in a cholent, but I still cringe at them.  And Brenna makes me buy them for her. This was also our first experience with this brand. Kosher Pareve under the OU
