School holidays are here and after a day out with the kids, you just need an easy and nourishing no-cook emergency meal for the kids. We’ve got you! This colourful toddler plate brings together savoury turkey meatballs, a naturally sweet Pumpkin, Date & Spice Muffin, fresh fruit and veggies, plus creamy avocado sprinkled with hemp seeds for a fun mix of flavours, textures and nutrients.
Our Turkey Meatballs are packed with protein and provide important nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12. Protein supports your toddler’s growth and development, while iron helps support healthy red blood cells and oxygen transport. Zinc is important for immune function, and two of these little meatballs provide 29% of the zinc recommended dietary intake for children ages 1-3 years!
The Pumpkin, Date & Spice Muffin provides fibre for healthy digestion, healthy fats for brain development and beta-carotene from the pumpkin for healthy little eyes. Dates add a natural sweetness while the tree nuts provide healthy fats, protein and makes it a breeze to maintain bub’s exposure to nuts. Plus each little muffin also provides 30% of the whole grain daily target intake for 1-3 year olds!
Fresh blueberries add antioxidants to protect little cells, while tomatoes provide vitamin C to keep those sniffles away. The avocado and hemp seeds bring a boost of healthy fats, with hemp seeds also providing plant-based protein and minerals.
