Food Pouches Are The Ultimate On-The-Go Snack Hack For Adults
Who remembers when the internet was abuzz about the “baby food diet?” It was reportedly “created” by fitness trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson and popular among her celebrity clients. As you might guess it involves eating baby food. Anderson denied telling her clients to eat baby food in lieu of “real food.” At the time the idea of the diet did seem absurd to me, but fast forward a few years and I’m now a working parent with limited childcare. I can confidently say baby food has saved the day on more than one occasion.
We are so far passed Gerber apple sauce and added sugar options. There are literally countless farm fresh, protein and fiber-rich options made with clean ingredients and no added sugar. I can push a stroller, drive a car or partake in a meeting with one hand while drinking/eating a pouch in the other. Of course it’s not ideal and I wish I could sit down for a civilized lunch of grilled veggie and fish, but that’s not always realistic. So, what’s wrong with eating these fruit, veggies and produce in puree form?
These days you can find yogurt pouches, granola pouches, even salmon and beef options.
Click through our slideshow for some inspiration next time you’re looking for a quick snack on the go.
PACKIT
First some housekeeping. Some of the best food pouches require either being refrigerated or they require refrigeration after opening, PACKIT's freezable snack bags will ensure your pouches stay fresh as can be. Just pop in a pouch - or three - and head out for the day.
Once Upon A Farm
Besides being farm fresh, Once Upon A Farm has unique options like Overnight Oats. For when not on the go their website also has a ton of great recipes that incorporate their pouches. It will be hard to portion control with these they're that good.
Little Spoon
When it comes to originality Little Spoon reigns supreme. Uniquely delicious options include Banana Bread with Creamy Tahini (Seed + Mill tahini no less) and Purple Carrot Acai Bowl with Chia.
Holle Organic
Holle Organic sources all of their ingredients directly from manufacturers in Europe, maybe that's the special touch that makes these no sugar/no salt added option so delicious. Either way that's just what they are. HiPP is also made by the same parent company, Organic's Best, and has a variety of options.
Ithaca Hummus
It's not just fruit, veggies and oats that you can now get in pouch form. Thanks to Ithaca Hummus there is now also hummus in various iterations! It's good enough to eat on its own but works amazingly well on carrots or crackers as well.
Happy Family Organics
If you're looking for options that have fiber and protein, Happy Family Organics' pouches clearly indicate how much is in a serving - remember "fiber and protein at every meal make losing weight no big deal."
Mama Bear Organic
Mama Bear Organic has some great breakfast options that include both yogurt and fruit with no added sugar.
Serenity
Now you can even have beef, chicken and salmon on-the-go thanks to Serenity. We know it sounds a little gross - but it's not! They're blended with veggies and taste surprisingly delicious.
Beech-Nut
In addition to fruit and veggie options, Beech-Nut also has granola blends.
365 by Whole Foods Market
For no added sugar fruit pouches, 365 by Whole Foods Market offers impressively good value considering they're organic.
Peter Rabbit Organics
Peter Rabbit Organics is another wonderful organic option - and certainly they have the best and most nostalgic packaging.
