🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Eggs are a valuable breakfast ingredient that provides quality protein and choline during your child's growing years. The zucchini, carrot and pepper inside add fibre, vitamins and natural colour to the meal. Soft, hand-held muffins can gently support self-feeding and fine motor skills at this age.
