Kids love anything green on St. Patrick’s Day—green pancakes, green milk, green eggs, you name it. While plain green veggies might not be their first choice, Little Spoon makes it easy by packing hidden greens into every bite. 😉 We’re here to help you sneak in those superfood greens—no bribery required. In honor of the greenest holiday of the year, let’s highlight the powerhouse veggies you can find in our Little Spoon meals:
🥬 Kale
Kale is that friend who has a five-step morning routine and actually drinks enough water. It’s packed with nutrients and makes you feel like you’ve got your sh*t together. That’s exactly why we’ve tucked kale into some of our fan fave meals and snacks. Let us introduce you to two of our ultimate, picky-eater faves, Whole Wheat Penne and Turkey Kale Meatballs Plate and our Turkey Kale Meatball Biteable. Not a meatball lover? No hard feelings. Lucky for you, we secretly added kale to our Green Dream Smoothie, alongside apples, bananas, kiwi, peas and chia seeds. Dare we say, getting your greens never tasted so good?
🥦 Broccoli
Broccoli gets a bad rep, but to be honest, it just needs better PR. That’s why we created the Broccoli Bites Plate—our take on a roasted broccoli fritter with potatoes, nutritional yeast, rice flour, and spices. Not only does this dish make broccoli taste so good with ketchup, but it delivers on essential nutrients and minerals your little one needs to keep their bodies growing strong. Did we mention it has loads of vitamin C along with zinc, iron, magnesium and a bunch of B vitamins? A win is a win.
🍃 Basil
If you’ve reserved basil for bougie at-home pasta dishes, (we’re talking about Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Vodka Pasta), you’re not alone. Believe it or not, basil has some incredible benefits such as being rich in antioxidants, like vitamin C and vitamin K. It’s also known to stimulate digestion and relieve issues like bloating, gas, and constipation. So where does basil come in at Little Spoon? You can find this leafy green in none other than our Strawberry Basil Gazpacho or Tuscan Quinoa and White Bean Soup Babyblends.
🥬 Spinach
Spinach is basically the Houdini of veggies—it blends into anything and leaves no traces behind! It’s the star of our Tropical Greens Smoothie, along with our blend of apples, bananas, pineapple and passion fruit juice. Close your eyes, take a sip, and for a fleeting moment, you’re lounging on a white sandy beach in Cabo. That is, until reality snaps back with a tiny voice demanding you to uncap their Smoothie. Ah, paradise was nice while it lasted.
