While babysitting for a friend, I happened to try some of the gerber banana puffs and a few of the cheddar puffs....um...let's just say I could have easily fought that toddler for them. I was ecstatic to find that you can have 1/2 cup for 25 cals and only 6 carbs...and only 1 gram of sugar....seriously?

They were actually really tasty....however I am quite embarrassed to say I may buy some to snack on...I think I'll hide them from my fiance because it's quite embarrassing.....but I had to share in case anyone else eats these or was interested.

    I like the sweet potato puffs. :) Thanks for the reminder.

    (haven't had them in forever! My kids are growing up WAY too quickly!)

    I agree. Take the label off if you need to. I won't tell if you won't-they are great.

    My mom used to have to buy 2 jars of the Arrowroot pudding when I was young - one for me & one for her :D

    haha My 9 month old niece eats those. It's not embarrassing I eat them too sometimes. My favorite are the banana ones followed by the peach ones. :)

    My wife often laments going to resaurants and seeing a stated policy that the childrens' meals are for 12 and under only... There are times when THAT IS THE PORTION SIZE SHE WANTS... too bad, they won't sell it to her... Because (thankfully) she is over 12 years of age.

    I grab my son's zwiebacks too, and his rice cakes. two of the Hipp apple rice cakes are only 7 cals.

    I'll have the try the Gerber puffs when I visit the states next month.

    Gerber snacks are really good. I love the sweet potato ones. I also love the little cookies too. I have 14 month old twins and I always end up eating more of there snacks than they do lol.
