Heavyweight supervising producer Stevie Lane says, “This week, I recommend those squeeze pouches of baby food. Okay, hear me out: They’re essentially smoothies. (Especially if you keep them cold in the fridge. Hack!) They don’t expire for a whole year, and are easy to pack if you’re going out for the day. As a child of the Go-Gurt Generation, I appreciate a good grab-n-go snack. The baby food section of the grocery store can be a little overwhelming. There are a lot of baby food brands out there. But my favorite (on the basis of flavor, price, and consistency) is Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics. Pay no mind to the strange looks you may receive from your local cashier. Or strangers on the street while you saunter along with your pureed fruit mush. They don’t know. And if you’re looking for a place to start—to dip a toe in before more sophisticated combos like Pear-Carrot-Beet—try Apple-Peach or Banana-Raspberry-Blueberry. Both great gateway flavors.”
