Storage Instructions

Best served fresh.

If needed, leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 12 hours, but texture is best when freshly made.

Nutrition Notes

Weet-Bix is a great source of whole grains, is low in sugar and is fortified with iron, making it a popular breakfast choice for babies starting solids. Apple adds natural sweetness and fibre, while flaxseed provides healthy fats and extra fibre to support digestion.

Parent Tip

Serve with a Sticky Spoon to let baby practise dipping, or for older babies use the Selfie Spoon so they can work on scooping skills independently.
