Freezer Friendly breakfast for toddlers

Some mornings can be chaotic so it’s great to know that certain types of foods are just as yummy and nutrient-dense even after freezing.

It’s the perfect healthy breakfast for toddlers.

Banana and Turmeric Lassi

When I think of turmeric I think of an Indian curry, but this spice is really versatile and goes well with fruit, especially yellow fruits; pineapple, mango or banana. Not only does it being a little exotic flavour to this drink it also brings with it an abundance of health benefits. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and is also really high in antioxidants. This smoothie makes a wonderfully different health breakfast for toddlers and one that Mommies or Daddies will love too!
