How We Develop Recipes for Optimal Nutrition

Want the benefits of homemade meals for little ones without the stress, time or money spent planning, shopping, washing, chopping, blending, packing, freezing, thawing and cleaning? Well, look no further. Our Organic, Cold-Pressed fruit and veggie blends are as fresh as homemade, but without the headache of all of the above.

As for the recipes, we offer different varieties specific to your little one’s age. Each recipe has been hand crafted by Founder Cassandra Curtis (mommy of 2 with one on the way!) with help from a childhood nutrition expert and pediatrician and is based on the foods that can and should be safely introduced at that age (or “stage” as we call it).

Baby Food Blends

5 Months and Up

Let’s start with 5+ months (or when you’re ready to introduce solids to your baby). These recipes are made with a single ingredient, such as mango in Magic Velvet Mango or pear in Fairest of Pears. We know that introducing new foods to your baby can be scary, so we want to ensure you introduce one food at a time (a best practice for all foods at this age, not just our pouches). That way you can easily narrow down the culprit if your baby isn’t loving a certain food or if for any reason there is a reaction to the ingredient. So why mangoes and pears, you ask? Well aside from tasting delicious, they are both gentle on the stomach and are very nutrient-dense as well.
