Tasty Turtle - Holle Organic Fruit Puree Pouch with Yogurt

Tasty Turtle - Holle Organic Fruit Puree Pouch with Yogurt, Apple and Pear, 85 g, from the 8th month

Tasty Turtle is a Holle organic yogurt pouch for babies from the 8th month. It is apple and pear puree blended with organic yogurt, in an 85 g resealable pouch. Holle declares it gluten-free and vegetarian, it is certified EU Organic, and it contains milk, which is the whole point of it.

The yogurt is what separates this pouch from the fruit-only ones. At 33 percent it is a third of the pouch, made from organic milk, and it is pasteurised, so this is a shelf-stable yogurt snack rather than a chilled one. Apple puree at 35 percent and pear puree at 30 percent are the fruit side, and a little wholegrain rice flour and lemon juice concentrate finish it.

Apple and pear are the two gentlest fruits Holle uses, which is deliberate here. A yogurt pouch is already introducing dairy protein, so the fruit around it is kept deliberately mild rather than tropical or sharp. If your baby has had apple and pear separately and taken them well, the only new thing in this pouch is the yogurt itself.

Holle designs these yogurt pouches for the nutritional needs of babies from 8 months and makes them with organic milk. The protein in a baby yogurt is kept lower than in an adult one, which is why a product made for this age exists at all rather than simply offering a baby a spoonful from the family pot. There is no added sugar in the declaration and no additives.

The wholegrain rice flour is there as the only thickener, and because it is rice rather than wheat, oat or spelt, the pouch stays gluten-free. That is useful at eight months, when grains are often still being introduced one at a time: this pouch brings dairy without also bringing a gluten cereal along with it. It is vegetarian but, containing milk, it is not vegan.

Where this pouch sits in the weaning day

Holle positions the yogurt pouches as a snack between meals or on the go, and that is the honest slot for this one. An 85 g pouch is smaller than the 100 g fruit pouches, which fits: a third of it is dairy, so it is a denser snack than fruit alone and a smaller portion goes further.

It is also a pudding. Offered after a savoury course it does what a flavoured yoghurt does for an older child, without the added sugar one of those usually carries. For a baby who has gone off plain yogurt, having the fruit already stirred through is often the difference between taking it and not.

What it is not is a first dairy food. From 8 months a baby can have yogurt as part of a mixed diet, but it does not replace breast milk or infant formula, and a yogurt pouch is a snack rather than a milk feed. If dairy is entirely new to your baby, give this on a day when nothing else is new.

How to serve it, and how to store it once opened

What is in the pouch, by percentage

Five entries, and the first three are 98 percent of it. Apple leads, yogurt is a third, pear is just under a third, and the last two are a thickener and a little acidity.

Percentages are Holle's own for this product. Holle gives no percentage for the rice flour or the lemon juice concentrate, so none is stated here; together they are the remaining 2 percent. The yogurt is marked as an allergen in the printed declaration.

What is in it

• Five ingredients in total

• Made with organic milk
• Rice flour, so gluten-free
• Vegetarian, not vegan
• Contains milk as an allergen
• No sugar in the declaration

What one 85 g pouch gives you

A pouch is a portion, so there is no yield to calculate. Note that the yogurt pouches are 85 g rather than the 100 g of the fruit-only ones, and that once opened they keep a day rather than two.

Holle does not publish a portion count for this pouch, so the splits above are arithmetic on the 85 g pack size rather than a manufacturer figure. The 24-hour fridge life is Holle's own. A pouch your baby has fed from directly should not be kept.
