These have become staples in our house. I first picked up the "Blueberry Blitz" from our local super-market, but the only other flavors they carried were "fruit-only". I really liked the fact that you get at least some veggies in these (albeit a few places down on the ingredient list). So I came to Amazon and ordered "Carroty-Chop" and "Beetbox Berry". So far the kids (boys aged 4 and 6) love them. They are an easy snack to throw in the lunch box or to take on the road. I also like that they have a long shelf life and they are certified organic by the Oregon Tilth, one of the more stringent organic certification agencies.
Here are the ingredient lists since I don't see them on Amazon:
Blue-Berry Blitz: organic apple puree, organic blueberry puree, organic carrot puree, organic purple carrot juice, organic lemon juice
Carroty Chop: organic apple puree, organic carrot puree, organic mango puree, organic orange juice, organic lemon juice
Beetbox Berry: organic apple puree, organic strawberry puree, organic carrot puree, organic beet juice, organic lemon juice
They are all 60 calories and have 11 grams of sugar.
I've also taken to buying the "Peter Rabbit Organics" which have more vegetables mixed in with the fruit and are a little larger. My kids prefer the Mashups, but they also like the Peter Rabbit brand, so I just have a big basket of them all mixed in and I grab what makes sense. If we've dined out and they didn't get a lot of veggies I give them a "Peter Rabbit" for bedtime snack. If I'm just adding a little something to their lunch box I'll throw in a Mashup. It does help keep the kids away from the junk food, particularly at snack time. A great tool in the "trying to feed the kids healthy stuff" arsenal.
And to be honest I've been known to grab one when I need a quick snack. They taste pretty good, and it's better than grabbing cookies or chips.
I ordered these to mix up my child's snack. I usually give her applesauce pouches but she is getting tired of them. The information provided doesn't list apples as an ingredient but when arrived they are the first ingredient listed. I'm sure my daughter will still like them I just wish I had known that before ordering.

I had tried a few flavors of mashups, and was satisfied if not excited about the flavors, until I tried the Mixed Berry. I did not enjoy the taste. I thought it might get better if I tried it cold, but it still just tasted like straight up applesauce to me, unsweetened applesauce. So I made the effort to actually read the ingredient list, and sure enough, apples are the first ingredient listed. Not berries. So even though there are berries in this, it is not a berry mix, it is berry infused applesauce, and not at all what I was looking for. Now I'm really disappointed that I am stuck with five and a half more boxes of this applesauce. I understand that it would be too expensive to produce if they stuck to entirely berries, and that apples are a cheap, healthy way to make it enough to sell, but it should be properly named, as not many kids will be fooled once they taste it.

A great way to start off the day with some good calories for our son. Tastes wonderful! It is so smooth, though, that you would not know there is oatmeal in it by the texture.

We absolutely LOVE all the Plum Organics Pouches. They are awesome for lunch boxes. I am a parent of 3 1/2 yr. old twins. One cannot process fresh fruits and veggies but with these products I don't have to worry. He will now eat five different varieties. The only complaint I have is that they keep saying the item is no longer available for subscribe and save then one day later it becomes available at a higher price.
Really loved this bar. This is a harder style bar primarily made of a combination of nuts and seeds bound together by brown rice syrup and cane syrup. Good source of fiber and protein and relatively low on sugars. I will buy this again.
