Let’s face it, kids eat with their eyes first. A plate that looks dull or messy is often met with a turned-up nose. But make it bright, fun, and full of colour? Suddenly, healthy eating becomes an adventure!
The secret to stress-free snack time is all in the presentation. And with GubGub’s naturally vibrant fruit roll-ups and melts, creating colourful food for kids is easier (and tastier) than ever.
Whether you’re packing a lunchbox or putting together an after-school treat, these creative snack ideas are here to bring joy — and nutrition — to every bite.
Why Colour Matters on the Plate
A rainbow on the plate isn’t just pretty — it’s powerful. Different coloured fruits and veggies contain unique nutrients:
-
🍓 Red (like strawberries): Full of antioxidants
-
🧡 Orange (like mangoes): Packed with vitamin A
-
💚 Green (like spinach or kiwi): High in fibre and iron
-
💙 Purple (like blueberries): Supports brain health
GubGub’s fruit snacks are made from real fruits and retain their bright colours naturally — no artificial dyes here!
