No brands are alike in the fruit combinations they offer, so I decided to compare three mixed-fruit squeezables, all of which included strawberries as a key ingredient.
Plum Organics Strawberry Mish Mash
From the look of the pink packaging and based on the fact strawberries got top billing in this mashup of apples, pears, and acerola fruit (a natural source of Vitamin C, the label says), you'd hope it would taste like strawberries. Instead, it was a shoe-in for run-of-the-mill applesauce.
Gerber Organic Fruit
This one smelled like peaches, which was a relief, considering peaches were included in this mixture that also included strawberries and pears. But the smell was all that was notable about this one.
Ella's Kitchen The Red One
Although none had the bright color I'd hope to see in what's essentially a fruit smoothie for babies, this pouch — which combined bananas, strawberries, apples, and raspberries — tasted just like one. I'd definitely sneak one of these when my baby isn't looking. (Speaking of baby, not that she has much of a discerning palate, but after several spoonfuls of this one, she was especially chatty and bouncy . . . but perhaps it's the 11 grams of sugar from all the fruits.)
THE WINNER IS . . . Ella's Kitchen The Red One
