How to Batch Prep 20 Squooshi Pouches in Under 10 Minutes

The question we get asked most: "How do you actually make this work on a busy week?"

The answer is Sunday batch prep. Here's the exact routine that thousands of Squooshi families swear by.

WHAT YOU NEED

- Your Squooshi pouches (a 6-pack or 10-pack works great)
- A blender or food processor
- 2–3 ingredients per recipe
- 10 minutes

THE METHOD

Step 1: Pick 2 recipes for the week.
One fruit-based, one veggie-based. Keep it simple — Sweet Potato & Apple and Berry Banana Smoothie will handle Monday through Friday without complaint.

Step 2: Batch blend each recipe.
One recipe at a time, blend enough for 6–8 pouches. For the smoothie: dump frozen fruit and oat milk in the blender. For the sweet potato: use last night's roasted leftovers.

Step 3: Fill your pouches.
Open the bottom zipper, spoon or pour the blend in. Each pouch takes about 20 seconds to fill. For even faster filling, try the Squooshi Filling Station — it fills up to 6 pouches simultaneously in under a minute.

Step 4: Seal and store.
Zip up, label with masking tape and a marker (date + flavor), refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 5: Grab and go all week.
Monday: 30 seconds to grab a pouch. Tuesday: same. Every morning after that: same.

THE REAL SECRET

The families who make this work consistently all say the same thing: don't overthink the recipes. Two ingredients blended smooth is a complete meal for a baby or toddler. The goal is nourishment and convenience, not a Michelin star.
