Blueberry, Banana, Carrot, and Quinoa Pouches

Jump to Recipe

Homemade pouches are one of my favorite things to make for my kiddos. I know everything that goes into them, I can customize them to our tastes and nutritional needs, and they’re a great way to use up extra fruits and vegetables that I know we won’t eat before they spoil.

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup dry quinoa, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 cup carrot, cooked and diced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 bananas
  • 1¼ cup water (you can use some juice or all juice here too for extra flavor, but be aware of the added sugar.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all of the ingredients in your blender and blend on high until combined and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add water as needed to achieve your desired texture.

Fill your reusable pouches (I like these) and either refrigerate and serve within 3 days or freeze for future use.

Some of Our Favorite Flavor Combinations

  • Raspberries, cooked apple, and chia seeds
  • Sweet potato, carrot, banana, and strawberry
  • Berries, banana, spinach, and cooked oats
  • Avocado, cooked apple, kiwi, and banana

Notes

  • If you accidently thin your purée out too much, add a banana and/or a couple tablespoons of chia seeds. Blend and let it sit for a couple minutes before testing the consistency again.
  • If you are trying to extend your pouches, either to save money or use up produce before it spoils, these are some of the things I’ve successfully added to pouches with good results: any and all berries, kiwi, raw zucchini, cooked sweet potato, avocado, bananas, oranges, and cooked oats.

  1. […] I can’t be the only person who sometimes craves peanut butter cups for breakfast, right? And while there’s nothing wrong with indulging in some breakfast candy, it’s not going to stick with you for long. Enter these decadent homemade healthy(ish) nut butter and chocolate oat cups. With a nutty and crunchy oat base, a creamy almond and/or peanut butter center, and a smooth chocolate topping, it satisfies the craving and is relatively filling. Think a mix between those no-bake chocolate peanut butter oat cookies and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. They make the perfect kid (or adult) afternoon snack, especially if they’re paired with a smoothie, some fruit, or a homemade pouch. […]
