Gerber Graduates Smart Sips Review

Recently my youngest son has gone a strike against eating most food. It may sound weird but he will not touch anything that's "wet" he wants his food to be dry, like bread or crackers. I am always worried about him getting what vitamins and minerals he needs daily. Since I can't force him to eat I needed something else. That's where Gerber Graduates Smart Sips come in.

The Graduates Smart Sips are a healthy and delicious beverage for your toddler. There are three flavors: mild strawberry, mild vanilla and original. The drinks come in packs of 3, where I buy them from, and cost around $3. It's a decent size drink, 8.25 oz, and they come with straws attached. Here are the nutrition facts for 1 drink:

• Calories - 140

The Gerber Graduate Smart Sips are very nutritious. Not only that but they are good. I have tried one to see how it would taste. It didn't taste like a healthy drink at all. Usually when you taste one, like a Boost or Ensure,  it leaves a slight aftertaste this one doesn't. And the best part, my son loves them too!

So for those days that my son just won't eat anything I give him a Smart Sip to at least give him those important things. I definitely recommend the Gerber Graduates Smart Sips, they're healthy AND delicious!
