I was excited to find this product as my son is a very picky eater, but loves his “applesauce pouches” - with the added fiber and protein he would get some extra nutrition without ever knowing the difference. Or so I thought. The first time I gave him one he stopped as soon as he tasted it and declared he didn’t like it. I’ve given him every flavor your can imagine (broccoli spinach kale applesauce anyone?), and he’s never turned his nose up at it. I tasted it myself and realized the issue. It’s gritty. He has issues with texture, and it was notably not like the other “applesauce” he was used to. The good news is that his sister and little brother love them and are happy to have them, but they didn’t work like I had hoped for my picky eater. Still, a great product and a really great concept. Like I said, my other two loved them. :)
This product is true to its name - Fiber! I had a perpetually constipated baby. Now this kid craps more than Kim Kardashian takes a selfie. Ok, maybe not that often, but one pouch a day is producing 2-4 normal poops a day in a 9month old. Highly recommend if you have constipation issues with your kid.
We give our toddler food pouches in the mornings when we or short on time or carry them as a backup when we are on the go. I feed him the Happy Tot brand almost exclusively now because they are organic and because they don't have added sugar or mystery ingredients. My son also loves this flavor. Some reviewers have complained about the sugar content in these pouches but if you compare it to any other fruit based pouch you'll see that the 11 g in these pouches is average and unavoidable simply because fruit has more grams of sugar than veggies. These pouches have added protein in the form of pea protein and not dairy based protein, this is great for parents who do not feed their children cows milk for dietary or personal reasons.
I’m not a child and I’m not embarrassed to say that I love these little fruit pouches. I keep them in my fridge and eat them as snacks. Delicious and convenient way to get some healthy food in me. Great for traveling too!
Thank you Happy Tot for a just-right, on-the-go GF snack for big people too. I like the flavor, texture and nutritional content of this particular blend. Protein & Fiber make the product more filling/substantial while maintaining the Pear & Blueberry flavor. Yum! I've added it to my subscribe and save service. :)

Description
Especially good for picky eaters, our Fiber & Protein pouches are a delicious mix of organic fruits and veggies that we optimize with the added nutrients energetic toddlers need— protein for their growing bodies and fiber to support digestive health.
A great way to get fruit and veggie in while out. I give them to my one year old on car trips or while at the park. It has 9grams of sugar, which may seem like a lot but the Kirkland applesauce is 6grams for half the amount.
I use the blue and green flavors (what my son calls them) to supplement some protein, fiber, and veggies. I've compared the nutritional information for all the brands and varieties, and the blue and green are the only ones with non-starchy vegetables and lower sugar. The sugar is still higher than I'm comfortable with, so I try to limit these.
Have a daughter with Gastroparesis. Sometimes baby food is all she can eat. And she enjoys these. As a parent, I am glad to find something she eat that is organic. Would reorder and would recommend.
Pros:
Healthy and great ingredients
Great for on the go
Replaceable cap
Even I don't mind most of the flavors.
CONS:
a huge downside is the product was thrown in an Amazon box, like they were trying to make their own variety pack. I tried every one I opened to make sure they were not spoiled.
Our son loves Happy Baby pouches and this flavor was a hit! Will continue to buy as it is a perfect size and gives him a perfect balance of fiber and protein when he doesn't want to eat as healthy as he should.
