It’s not just a tasty plate; it’s a powerhouse of goodness, designed with your little one’s development in mind.
What’s inside this amazing dish?
Sustainably sourced Salmon (MCS Certified)
Our salmon isn’t just delicious, it’s responsibly sourced through the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) guidelines, ensuring we protect ocean habitats while serving nutritious fish. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), vital for brain development, vision, and emotional well-being. These healthy fats play a crucial role in forming neural connections, aiding memory, and supporting cognitive function. Salmon also packs a punch of high-quality protein and essential B vitamins for energy and growth.
Spinach: A green powerhouse
Spinach brings a vibrant boost of iron, essential for delivering oxygen to growing muscles and brains. It’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K, supporting immunity, skin health, and strong bones. With a healthy dose of antioxidants, spinach helps protect young cells from oxidative stress, while its folate content supports brain development and mood regulation.
Edamame: Little Green Gems
Edamame, or young soybeans, provide a complete source of plant-based protein, delivering all nine essential amino acids that support growth, repair, and overall vitality. They’re packed with fibre for healthy digestion, iron for strong blood, and magnesium to keep little muscles and nerves working smoothly. Edamame also offers a unique phytonutrient profile that supports heart health and brain function.
Wholegrain Noodles: Slow-Release Energy
Our casserole is built on a bed of wholegrain noodles, offering complex carbohydrates that release energy steadily, keeping little ones fuelled for play, learning, and exploration. These noodles also contain B vitamins and fibre, supporting digestion and overall vitality.
