Speaking of Pinkalicious, this is also a great smoothie choice for the kiddos as it’s nutrient packed and not too high in sugar while still being a tad sweet & absolutely delish!

Now let’s talk nutrition; Dragon Fruit is packed with vitamin C, iron, fiber, B vitamins and calcium not to mention plenty of fiber and antioxidants from the Raspberries as well which will keep your gut and digestive tract in check too!  This is also a great option for mamas to be as the Beets are rich in Folate (Vitamin B9) and the Hemp Seeds are exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, Linoleic acid (Omega-6) and Alpha-Linolenic acid (Omega-3) as well as Gamma-linolenic acid, all of which are essential building blocks for baby’s growing brain.

Enjoy for Breakfast or anytime during the day as a yummy, well balanced and nutrient packed snack!
