These are pretty good, except for the high sugar. I started buying these for my son who has an autism spectrum disorder. He is very picky about what he eats, and it's usually nothing healthy. I don't consider these especially healthy, but they have a lot of good nutrients that my son needs and wouldn't get otherwise. They are full of protein, so that's the main reason I buy them for him. They are a little expensive, but it's worth it since he has a very limited diet. I tasted one of these once, and I though the taste was horrible. I couldn't drink even half of it, but my son really enjoys the taste. I do think these taste a little better than other similar products. Most of the drinks that are similar to this one only come in vanilla and chocolate. This one also has a strawberry flavor, and my son says that one is the best. I will continue to buy these, and I highly recommend them for anyone that has a picky eater.

These are good but a little expensive. As far as toddler friendly drinks go these rank pretty high up on my list. It's sometimes hard to find a drink that both toddlers and caregivers agree on but this isn't the case here. Gerber seems to have the tastes of babies and toddlers down pat and they didn't let down with the smart sips. They are a great alternative to sugary juices, Gatorade or other supposedly kid friendly drinks. Packaging is simple, easy to open and great for travel. They are designed with little ones in mind making them easy to hold. Flavors are good, I have in fact tasted them and was impressed with the crispness of flavor and how good they tasted. It was easier to convince my niece to drink these instead of straight water when she was dehydrated. Overall I am pleased with this product, even if they do cost a little more. Quality of Ingredients Because they are made by Gerber I trust the ingredients are up to the standards of the company I and so many people trust.

I bought these for my daughters when we were going on a road trip. I tried both the vanilla and the strawberry. They are not overly sweet, so that is good for me, but they were not real attractive to my kids, especially if they are not refrigerated. That was what first attracted me, was that they didn't need refrigeration, so I could tuck one in the diaper bag without worry. They tasted ok, but nothing special. Personally, I like the flavor of regular milk better and so do my kids. They are rather pricey, when you consider ounce for ounce compared to regular milk. It is nice that they are packed with vitamins and nutrients, but only if you can get your kids to drink them. Like I said, it does make a big difference if it is cold. I trust Gerber Graduates as a brand and so I am confident that it is made from quality ingredients. I would say they are good for anywhere from 1 year olds to 4 year olds and can be convenient for on the go.

The Gerber company has come a long way since my days of infancy when all they carried were cereal, jars of baby food, and juice. Now the Gerber name has a bunch of products specifically tailored to newborns, infants , toddlers, and preschoolers. The Smart Sips is one such product and it happens to be tailored to toddlers. It has essential vitamins and minerals and comes in a pleasant smelling strawberry flavor. Also no sugar added, so its not like you're feeding your baby garbage. I can't comment on the taste because I dont personally know, but my son has no complaints. I dont use this as a replacement to drinking milk, however, I do give it to him on occasion when he's eating a snack. This is perfect for packing in the diaper bag because no refrigeration is required. You just shake it, pour it and it's ready to drink. This is the perfect serving size for your baby's bottle/sippy cup. I mainly buy it for the purpose of using it on outings. It's definitely convenient to have on hand.

We eventually came across these Gerber Graduates Smart Sips after receiving a coupon in the mail for them. I am very glad we were informed about this great product as it is great to have on hand! These toddler drinks feature fifteen vitamins and minerals, they are healthy and have Omega 3 fat. Our eighteen month old daughter loves these drinks and says they are yummy! As a parent, I love to have these on hand because they are a healthy alternative to other flavored milks. Also, I be sure to buy these every month so I have them with me in the car at all times. They are a perfect drink for a toddler on the go! I also appreciate how they have different varieties for our little ones to mix it up a little. The only downside to these healthy drinks is that they do run a bit pricey. However, I am always able to come across a coupon for them. Gerber Graduates really pleased us with this product. Would definitely recommend!
