I decided to prep some yogurt and fruit/veg for Cruzie. I think it would also be a great idea for adults to have as a snack or a quick breakie on the go.
I’m always looking for new lunch box ideas. I’ve noticed that supermarkets have been selling alot of children’s pre made snacks, juices, meals and yogurts in these pouches.
So many of them are so so high in sugar. Some higher that cans of coke and they have 4 health stars? How can they do that? Trucking so many people into thinking these products are healthy.
From my own research I have seen that sugar is an addiction that so many of us want to break. I don’t want to pass this on to our children. I want to start good habits.
Here are 3 quick easy recipes for either yourself or your child to add to the lunchbox.
Apple Bircher
1/2 Apple steamed
20g frozen spinach
Pinch of cinnamon
Blend the above ingredients in a blender.
Spoon in the mixture into the pouch.
Then add a layer of 2 tbsp coconut or full fat Greek yogurt to the pouch.
Can add a layer of organic oats soaked in coconut water.
Berry blitz yogurt
30g blueberries
3 large strawberries
1/2 a steamed Apple
30mls coconut water
Cinnamon
Blend the above ingredients in a blender.
Spoon in the mixture into the pouch.
Then add a layer of 2 tbsp coconut or full fat Greek yogurt to the pouch.
30g baby spinach
1/2 Apple steamed
Cinnamon
1/4 steam zucchini
1/2 steamed pear
Blend the above ingredients in a blender.
Spoon in the mixture into the pouch.
Then add a layer of 2 tbsp coconut or full fat Greek yogurt to the pouch.
You can enjoy all of these straight from the fridge and can leave in fridge for up to 48hrs. Can freeze too and get out when you need!
Hope you enjoy these super quick recipes.
I brought these pouches from LITTLE MASHIES online.
