Mango puree from Trader Joe's

I finally found it! I did not believe it existed but kept looking for it anyway. Pure, 100% one-ingredient mango puree. No preservatives, no added sugar, citric acid, vitamin C etc. Thank you Trader Joe's!

The twins love it straight, stirred in yogurt, shaken with milk and just about anyway I offer it to them.

Mango orange fruit smoothie from Fruit Simple

It had mango in it (and no added sugar) so I had to bring it home to try. Nobody really liked it - it was too much orange (was hoping for more mango) and it had no pulp (we all like pulp.)

My son finished his 'juuch' but my daughter didn't.

Mango conserve from Crofter's

If it has mango and looks even halfway safe I will try it. This mango conserve has more mango than sugar. Even though it had a bit higher sugar content (8 grams per serving) than I liked, it has a natural mango taste. Not the super sweet, fake flavor but the real thing and there are even bits of ripe mango in there.

The kids got it mixed with yogurt and my daughter gave it a yummy-yummy.

Mango chunks from Trader Joe's

After being very impressed with frozen mango halves from Trader's Joe's, I picked up these mango chunks because they were cheaper. Well, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. These were tart. The texture and consistency was good but the taste was really tart.

The twins puckered up and spat out the very first spoonful. Now I add one mango cube to a whole mashed banana or a cup of pear sauce to get them to eat. Once these food cubes are done, I will switch back to frozen mango halves.

Frozen mango halves from Trader Joe's

After the success with frozen avocado halves from Trader Joe's, I had to try these frozen mango halves. Score one more for Trader Joe's! I food cubed these and the puree came out creamy, smooth and thick. AND held that consistency when I later thawed them for the twins breakfast.

The mango puree did have a little tartness to it, which the twins seemed to actually like. My son ate it straight but my daughter did better with a few spoons of mashed banana mixed in.

Amazing mango from Bolthouse Farms

Another smoothie from Bolthouse Farms. Everytime I go to the grocery store I tell myself sternly to try something else but ……

My son especially loves this. As much as he likes his 'juich' he usually takes a good 15 minutes to finish 4 or 5 ounces. This is the only one so far that he has finished in under 5 minutes!

Apricot mango yogurt from Brown Cow

One of the best line of yogurts I have come across. Creamy and delicious with no artificial or after taste. They have a creamy coffee flavor which Iam getting for myself on the next grocery run. With 20 grams of sugar I did dilute it for the twins with some plain yogurt.

Mango tangerine Australian yogurt from Wallaby

Another line of flavored Australian style yogurt from Wallaby organic. The fruit part has bits of fruit but they are really soft and don't bother the twins. It is a lot of fruit though (as it says) and the yogurt is thin - Aussie style - so I had to mix in some plain greek yogurt.

Guava mango yogurt from LaYogurt

I will confess, the line of yogurts from La Yogurt have a lot of sugar. But, they also have unique flavors (and combinations of them) like mango, guava, papaya etc. and cherry, blackberry, pomegranate …..actually many flavors and kinds. So I 'dilute' the sugars with a lot of plain greek yogurt. Some of their flavors are artificial tasting but the twins don't care - they liked all the flavors I tried so far.
