Cherub Baby’s On the Go Food Pouches always do the trick in storing away not just baby food but a whole lot of things. Here’s a rundown of our favourite uses for our pouches other than baby food:

Snacks

Yoghurt

Placing them inside a reusable food pouch makes it an organized and hygienic way of preparing and serving food. With the On The Go Baby Food Pouches from Cherub baby, simply store the yoghurt overnight in the fridge. Pack them for travel or picnic the following day.

Fruits & Vegetables

As an environmental advocate, Rina from Sydney shares how she would use worn out reusable food pouches that she has reused for more than a year and finding a place for them in her office.

She would also store stray crayons, pencils, colouring materials for her young daughter.

Dips & Sauces
