Pineapple Whip
Pineapple is a great source of vitamin C. It’s similar to papaya in nutritional value and can be a helpful substitute if your child doesn’t like papaya or is sensitive to it. This recipe features pineapple, which also has fiber and contains a special digestive enzyme that is helpful for digestion. Because of this and the fiber content in this recipe, this is a great meal for kids struggling with constipation or other GI issues.
The great thing about this pineapple is that it is highly customizable! Feel free to experiment with different types of milk instead of coconut milk, if you like! You can also swap out honey for maple syrup or agave nectar for a different taste.
