This Turkey Meatballs and Pumpkin, Date & Spice Muffins Lunchbox combines protein-rich turkey meatballs, naturally sweet pumpkin and date muffins, fresh fruit and veggies, plus a creamy mango yoghurt for a colourful and balanced toddler lunchbox.
Nourishing Bub’s Turkey Meatballs are a great source of protein and zinc, two important nutrients during the toddler years. Protein supports healthy growth and development, while zinc plays an important role in immune function and wound healing.
Nourishing Bub’s Pumpkin, Date & Spice Muffins add whole grains, healthy fats and a natural sweetness with pumpkin and dates. Featuring all the nine tree nuts, this muffin also helps bub to maintain exposure to all tree nuts.
Fresh strawberries, tomatoes and carrots add a colourful boost of antioxidants, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, essential for the protection of cells, strengthening immunity and keeping little eyes healthy.
The mango yoghurt combines creamy Greek yoghurt with naturally sweet mango, providing protein and calcium to support growing bones and teeth.
