I love Ella's Kitchen products. From the smoothie packs to the little puffit snacks to the spelt cookies, it's so handy for Lennox to eat, especially on the go! I was actually introduced to it from a free 'pregnancy package' kit that we receive here in the Netherlands once I got pregnant. I tried it for myself and i loved their packaging and how clean the items were. Best part is that Nox loves it too! He's been using them since he was 6 months, especially when we were out of the house. I was happy to also find it in Singapore when i was there in February this year. Seems like it's a pretty well known brand.
Since i'm breastfeeding and it's always not convenient to breastfeed Nox (let's say we are rushing and he's in his stroller), I give him a smoothie pack instead to keep him quiet... haha. I always make sure there's 2 of it in the diaper bag at all times!
Anyway these smoothie packs cost anywhere from €0,99 to €1,99 each. So the past 6+ months or so the costs have been adding up. I saw from some Instagram mamas how they used these reusable pouches to fill up with their own smoothies and i wanted to try it too. I make green smoothies and fruit smoothies already for the family about 2 or 3 times a week, so it wouldn't be too difficult!
Read about the pouches i found online!
There was not a lot of choice online here in the Netherlands (compared to the UK and US) but i found a trusted UK brand also sold here: Nomnom reusable pouches. I bought mine from a dutch website Nomnomkids.nl; they were €13,95 for 3 of the bigger 200ml pouches (i might also get the smaller pouches in the future!). The delivery was quick, i received them in the mail the next day!
Here i made a smoothie for Lennox: 1 ripe banana, 2 kiwis, a handful of raspberries (maybe about 20-25 pieces) and some spinach. (I actually also documented it on snapchat a few days ago - are you already following me? :P Username: sitijaffar).
I added a little water which i realised later on was not really needed. The pouches were really easy to use and fill up, and i popped it in the fridge. Smoothie was nice and sweet and Lennox gave his seal of approval the next morning. Success! Now i'm checking out yoghurt and other smoothie recipes to put into his pack :)

| Nox knew exactly what to do when i passed the pouch to him. Grabbed it even before i opened the cap ;) |
