How to Squeeze in More of the Good Stuff

Squeezable food pouches are all the rage these days. And for the record, they're not just for babies and toddlers! Developed by a parent, this durable silicone food-safe pouch is the real deal. The original. Instead of stocking up on disposable plastic food pouches, fill this with homemade food like fruit and vegetable purees, smoothies and yogurt and you'll be all set.

Why use a Sili Squeeze? 

• Safe: Made from food safe silicone and BPA, Phthalate and PVC free.
• Reusable: conventional squeeze pouches are destined for the landfill - a huge waste for 10 minutes of use. The reusable Sili Squeeze is good to go for years of use.
• Healthy: Homemade food packed to go means you can custom make blends at home, with your child's favorite flavors in mind.
• Economical: buying cases of pre-made food pouches can really add up. Save some money and use your own ingredients.

It's a breeze to use the Sili Squeeze. Below is the easy way to pack in power nutrients from fruits and vegetables into an easy-to-drink green smoothie. 

    

As you can see, pouring straight from the blender into the sili squeeze was no problem. For thicker purees, you may want to consider using a Sili Funnel to avoid a mess.

What can you pack in your Sili Squeeze? Oh, there are endless possibilities. Here are some ideas to get you started. And a tip: you can freeze the Sili Squeeze (with smoothies inside) and then pack in lunches to stay cool.

Yogurt Blends

For the benefits of a protein punch, greek yogurt is an excellent snack for kids. When they prefer the sweetness of fruit with yogurt, try making your own blends with pureed fruit (any berry, orange zest, bananas, mango, pineapple, etc.) and flavors like cinnamon and nutmeg, sweeteners like honey or some coconut water, or for extra goodness: add in some avocado!
