Constipation Balls

About the recipe
These fibre-rich, healthy fat-filled little balls are a delicious snack and a great tool for gentle constipation support. Prunes are a natural source of sorbitol and fibre, which help get things moving, while hemp seeds and coconut oil offer nourishing fats for digestive support.
They're also a fantastic way to offer early and ongoing peanut exposure, making them ideal for allergy prevention strategies. Soft in texture and freezer-friendly, they make a perfect lunchbox snack or on-the-go bite.
We dive deeper into constipation support and gentle food-based approaches in our Constipation Masterclass and our free Constipation Blog—if your little one is struggling, you're not alone.
Suggested age range:
Suitable from 8 months+
Note: For babies under 2, shape into soft logs instead of balls to reduce choking risk.
Serving suggestions:
Perfect as a mid-morning snack or lunchbox addition.
Storage tips:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months—just thaw slightly before serving.
