- 1½ cups So Good™ soy milk
- ¼ cup frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup frozen pink dragonfruit pieces
- ½ small very ripe banana
Method
- Using a blender, add the soy milk in first so it’s in the bottom of the jug, closest to the blades.

- Blitz until smooth and a delicious pink colour! Divide between two glasses and serve.
Note: Add a tablespoon of water or soy milk to the glass to thin the smoothie out if your child finds it too thick to drink.

[mc_block_title custom_title=”RECIPE 3: Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials Pancake Animals”]
Serves: 8 to 10
Ingredients:
- 3 crushed Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials biscuits
- 1½ cups wholemeal self-raising flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups of So Good™ soy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, bananas and chocolate chips for face embellishments
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and the crushed Weet-Bix™ biscuits.
- Add the two lightly beaten eggs and a cup of soy milk. Whisk together, gradually adding more soy milk if the mixture is too thick. (You want it to be a thickened cream consistency, not too thick and not too runny.)
- Whisk in the vanilla paste.
- Heat and grease a frying pan.
- Pour some mixture in a little at a time to make a round shape, let it sit until bubbles form and then flip it over to cook the other side. You’ll need some larger pancakes, along with smaller pikelet sized pancakes to piece together animals.
- Decorate with sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, blueberries and chocolate chips as per the suggested serving above to create animals for some delicious brekkie fun!
What do you think? Will you be keen to give your kids their own ‘pink smoothie’ in the morning instead of sharing yours? Or perhaps the animal pancakes will make for an adorable and fun weekend cooking activity? Let us know, we’d love to hear!
