Bursting with antioxidant-rich blueberries, naturally sweet banana, and creamy yoghurt or probiotic-rich kefir, they’re the perfect way to cool down on warm days while giving your little one a healthy snack. The addition of hemp seeds adds a subtle nuttiness and an extra boost of healthy fats and protein to keep little tummies satisfied. A simple blend-and-freeze recipe that the whole family will love!
Age Appropriate:
Suitable from 6 months + (offered as a cool teether alternative or a refreshing snack on hot days)
