The Surprising Benefits of Puddings for Young Children

Puddings often get a bad reputation, but when made the right way, they can be a smart part of your child’s diet.

Nutritious, Not Just a Treat

Puddings can offer real nutritional value—especially when you:

  • Reduce the sugar: Sweeten with fruit instead. It adds natural flavour along with important vitamins and minerals.
  • Use dairy wisely: Milk-based puddings like rice pudding or custard are a good source of calcium and help boost your child’s dairy intake.
  • Focus on fruit: Many puddings are mostly fruit-based, offering hydration and a cool, refreshing treat—especially on warmer days.

We believe in a balanced approach to food. That includes puddings that are wholesome, nourishing, and child friendly. We always focus on seasonal fresh produce that instils in children a healthy relationship with food.
