Yummi Pouch Review and a Giveaway!



 I don't know about you, but I *love* the convenience of the squeeze pouch baby foods. I just don't like the downside of those pouches. The cost, the garbage output and who knows what's in them! It seems like they say vegetables but it's mainly apples. Or you're trying to avoid buying from companies who are owned by evil parent companies-which makes it so hard to buy anything convenient and organic these days.

 But wait! There is a product that gives you all the benefits of a pouch baby food AND all the benefits of knowing you are providing your baby with the best! The best part of this company is it's a small business and family owned. You are truly helping a family and not a big corporation!


 Let me introduce you to the Yummi Pouch!

The Yummi Pouch is truly and awesome product! I cannot believe this isn't making a bigger wave on the market. It has all the loved features of a store bought pouch and more. And their website has a wealth of information too!



The Yummi Pouch design is really awesome. These features make it a win! 
  • Ability to stand up for filling with a specially designed bottom.
  • Extra wide mouth with a very sturdy zipper to keep spills locked in. 
  • Spots on the back for the date and contents so you make a large batch and freeze for later. 
  • A fill line so that you aren't filling your pouches more than 6 oz. Which helps with portion control.
  • The spout is equal to, if not sturdier than store bought pouches and hold up to little kids chewing on them. (Yes, this happened already.) 
  • Over-sized cap for littler hands. But still tricky enough that the littlest of littles and cannot open them.
The Yummi pouch is:
  • Freezer Safe
  • Dishwasher Safe
  • BPA, Phthalate and PVC Free  
  • Reusable/Recyclable   
And it really is dishwasher safe! I ran ours through the dishwasher last night. One pouch came completely clean while the other had some remains of applesauce in there. For best results in the dishwasher I would recommend rinsing the before putting them in. The structure held up and there was not a hint of shrinking or warping of the pouch.


One big concern for me is the pouches tend to have extra air in them. As you can see here, it took my son blowing air in it for there to be extra. The bonus to this "experiment" was that when he took his mouth off, it didn't shoot everywhere. Added air in these from little kids playing in them, do NOT make them shoot the yummy goodness everywhere! Which is a major win with toddlers. They are great for taking snacks like applesauce from being a messy disaster to an easily enjoyable snack for moms and kids alike!


 They are really easy for kids of all ages to use. You do not have to use a lot of pressure to suck the contents out of them. Which makes it easier to not waste food. And the spout on the side makes alleviates the fear of popping open the zipper. Which is next to impossible to do. I filled the entire pouch up and pushed as much force as I could down on it and nothing happened! Win! They would even be great for adults who work out or use energy shots and make them at home!

  6. Would love these! Mentioned to my DH how nice it would be to have resusable ones (as I was using a fruit filled store bought)! Thanks for the opportunity!

  7. Must have! Why? Because I've got 6 kids, 10 and under, and many autism-related food messes could be avoided if these things hold up as well as you say.

    1. I truly do love these. I squeezed with all my might and nothing came out. And it's pretty hard to pull the zipper apart too. So little hands can't get into them!

  15. I make many green smoothies, and nervously carry them to the van for on-the-go nutrition. Oh, to have that green messy goodness safely tucked in a pouch that has all the things I look for: junk-free, reusable and recyclable. As a bonus, my son will want to help make and fill these!
