You all may not realize it, but I read each and every comment that is posted on AddictedtoSaving.com 🙂 As you should know, this week at Publix, we can score FREE Sprout Organic Baby Food at Publix. (Go HERE to see this week’s Publix sales/coupon matchups) Today, Chrystalm left a comment that left me thinking. She said, “The sprout baby food is great in smoothies. If you like to eat healthy they have a green bean/peas/mint combination that is wonderful in smoothies. Easier on your blenders also. I have a vitamix blender so I just threw in the veggies, added some fruit and taadaa a wonderfull green smoothie. Good organic veggies at a fraction of the price. Gotta love couponing.”
Chrystalm’s comment made me want to do a little research.. I went to Sproutbabyfood.com to find out the nutritional content of this product. Here is the information given for Sweet Peas & Garden Green Beans: “Made with all certified organic ingredients. No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Ingredients: Organic Peas, Organic Green Beans, Filtered Water, Organic Mint. Allergen Information: Does not contain Milk, Nuts, Egg, Soy, Wheat, Gluten, Fish or Shellfish.” Not bad! No added sugars or ingredients that I can’t pronounce which tells me this is legitimately organic! And, one serving has only 60 calories, 4 grams of dietary fiber (this is important when you are trying to eat healthy) and one/half a serving of protein at 4 grams.
What do you think? Are you as intrigued by the concept of making smoothies out of this food as I am? Below is the scenario to score you FREE Sprout Baby Food at Publix this week!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I use baby food often in smoothies. I also mix it with plain or vanilla yogurt or with cottage cheese. It’s much better for you than the yogurt or cottage cheese w/ the fruit provided b/c it has not sugar.
I am going to get it to donate to a local childrens home
It really bugs me that both Publix and Kroger advertise BOGO sales, but they actually ring up at 50% off. So you can’t match a BOGO coupon. 🙁
Kim – what state do you live in? It sounds like you aren’t in FL where we have “true B1G1 sales”. 🙁 Although, I’m wondering if you live in the land of doubles? Are your coupons doubled?
I love the idea and can’t wait to try it. I’m always looking for ways to sneak in veggies for my twins. I would love to hear recipes for for smoothies, etc using the Sprout baby food if anyone has any. I am cooking-challenged. 🙂
yuck! lol. I think I am going to stick with feeding this to my daughter. ah. If I have time, I guess I’ll try it. or at least make a smoothie for my husband and son and see if they like it.
Is this non- perishable item?
