When you spend a lot of time running errands, visiting family, going out to eat, visiting doctors, etc… Your kids often wind up eating on the run. Older kids are easy – a pack of crackers, a granola bar, and you’re ready to go. It gets a little harder with crawling and walking (or nearly walking babies). They are not yet ready for solid table food but need something a bit more substantial than pureed foods.
Gerber Lil’ Bits are a new 3rd food that gives your little movers something with a little more “bite” to it. There are yummy Flavors like Sweet Potato Apple Carrot & Cinnamon. I turned them onto On The Go Baby Parfaits by layering them with other ingredients and adding a spoon.
Gerber Lil’ Bits contain small soft pieces of fruits and veggies to help transition your little one into chewing. I used a fruit and a veggie option to make up a couple of variations for grab and go. These are great to take to restaurants or hand off to grandma when she is on babysitting duty!

Attach a spoon or fork; I picked up a cheap multipack and attached one to each container, so it was truly a grab and go.
