Benefits of Key Ingredients:
- Banana: Bananas provide a creamy base for the melts and are rich in potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. They help maintain energy levels and support digestion, making them a kid-friendly staple.
- Mango: Known as the “king of fruits,” mangoes are loaded with vitamin A and C, which is essential for healthy vision and immune function. Their natural sweetness adds a delicious flavor kids love.
- Orange: Packed with vitamin C, oranges strengthen the immune system and combat colds. Their tangy taste balances the sweetness of the banana and mango.
- Ginger: A tiny amount of ginger offers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, supporting overall health and soothing little tummies. Its mild warmth blends seamlessly with the fruits.
