Necessity is the mother of invention.
In Seattle, we love to reduce, reuse, recycle. It’s all AWESOME, except when our little kids make a giant Pollock-style mess with applesauce in the backseat of the car as we race between soccer games and piano lessons. Sure, homemade, locally-sourced, organic yogurt is awesome, but watching its precarious journey between bowl and mouth makes me run to the Go-Gurts, risking hostile judgment from eco-moms everywhere.
What’s a lazy mamma with sticky-hand phobia to do?
Answer: Squeez’Ems
Squeez’Ems – 2 pack Reusable Food Pouch – $9.50
Squeez’Ems ZipPouch – 2 pack Reusable Food Pouch – $6.99
Basically, you get all the benefits of those incredibly wasteful eco-devastating, single-serving snack food containers (Go-Gurt, juice boxes, you know what I’m talking about) without the waste. These re-sealable pouches are washable, reusable and BPA-free. You simply fill the Squeez’Em with your favorite goopy snack, juice, smoothie, or yogurt (you can just PRETEND you make your own kefir-enriched raw yogurt), twist on the cap, and go.
Junior gets to open the little squeeze-spout, and suck it down without losing a single drop … no waste, no guilt, no problem. The eco-moms at the park will be SO JEALOUS as they scrub applesauce off their kids. WIN! Buy everything in cost-effective large sizes (can you say COSTCO??) and save money. WIN! Leave one filled with yogurt in the freezer overnight and pop it into the lunch bag in the morning for a slushy snack AND ice-pack all in one. WIN!
Squeez’Ems Reusable Food Pouches feature:
- BPA, PVC and phthalate free
- One piece to eliminate lost parts
- Freezer, microwave and top rack dishwasher safe (this is REALLY important to me … yes, they are top rack dishwasher safe. That said, you definitely want to fill them with warm soapy water and shake them out first – maybe even soak them overnight – before you put them in the dishwasher. Or, hot water with soap and a bottle brush works great.)
- Environmentally friendly and cost conscious
- Perfect for lunch boxes and travel
