Product Description

**Out of stock with supplier. No known ETA at this stage. 

The Children’s Blend was recently launched by the Foraged Team and is a blend of the most nutrient dense, real and fermented foods. It is formulated specifically for the nutritional requirements of the special littlest loves in our lives, to support their growth and development when consumed as part of a healthy diet.

The Children’s Blend is a powerful source of naturally occurring nutrients from real food.
The key differences between the Mother’s Blend are the addition of Chamomile Flowers to support restless nervous systems, Elderberry for boosted immune activity and an extra serve of Camu Camu. It is a sweeter blend than the Mother’s from a taste perspective thanks to the chamomile.
The blend is suitable for age 7 months and above, simply refer to the correct dosages below or within the serving suggestion on your jar. For ages 18+ years, we suggest The Mothers Blend. 
For children aged 1 to 3, the blend provides a good source of vitamin A, C, B12, folate and Iodine as well as a source of iron, which all contribute to normal growth and development when consumed as part of a healthy diet involving the consumption of a variety of whole foods. The mineral iron contributes to normal cognitive development in children, and folate, vitamin A, C and B12 contribute to normal immune system function.
For infants aged 7 months to 1 year, a 3g serve of the blend provides a good source of vitamin A (81% RDI), vitamin C (96% RDI), vitamin K (197% RDI), vitamin B12 (480% RDI) and iodine (87% RDI) and a source of folate (63% RDI). For children aged 3 years and over, an 8g serve of the blend provides a good source of vitamin A (32% RDI), vitamin C (72% RDI), vitamin K (25% RDI), vitamin B12 (168% RDI) and iodine (35% RDI) and a source of folate (24% RDI).
Although there is absolutely no harm in your child enjoying The Mothers Blend, caution is needed to ensure the iodine dose doesn’t exceed the daily recommended amount. A 1/4-1/2 a tsp should be used if being given on a daily basis and no more.

Ingredients: organic beetroot juice, all organic fermented blend (fermented red lentils, broccoli, chlorella, spinach powder, camu camu, pepitas, beetroot juice, molasses), organic grass fed beef liver,  freeze dried wild harvested elderberry, organic chamomile flowers, organic camu camu, organic Atlantic kelp, stevia leaf (Steviol glycosides).

How to use it daily: Mix the recommended dosage on the bottle for the correct age group into a small glass of icy cold water, juice, smoothie or sparkling probiotic beverage. Alternatively you can blend it through bliss balls, slices, coconut or dairy yoghurt or anything you or your little one pleases! Keep it raw (do not heat), so the nutrients remain intact and the probiotics remain live.

 Other ways we all love to have it: Whilst we often just use a spoon, water and the blend to roughly mix it in a glass and guzzle, I understand some of you want to make sure it is completely emulsified – and this is totally possible! Because the blend is free from chemical emulsifiers (eg soy lecithin), the blend will need a little help to completely mix in water, and the following quick and easy methods help you do just that.

If you are very nauseous or fussy, you could use a juice instead of water. Whilst to me and many the beetroot juice makes for a sweet taste, organic supplement, pure apple, orange or pineapple juice would be so, so delicious!

  • Add your dose to any jar (however we love using a leftover clean Foraged jar) along with just a ¼ – ½ cup of water or juice. Shake, shake, shake! It will completely emulsify and is like having a juice with zero pulp. Guzzle this down and continue with your day.
  • Blitz the dose and ¼-½ cup of water in your blender just for a few seconds. It will also be completely emulsified just like a pure juice.
  • Combine the dose with a very small amount of water and turn it into a paste-like consistency using a spoon. Once it forms a paste, add a little more water and it again will be fully emulsified. Guzzle!
  • Add it into a smoothie or smoothie bowl. There is a recipe on our Instagram feed , that includes foods like strawberry or blueberry, some frozen bananas, coconut cream, coconut milk or coconut yogurt, pure grass fed collagen powder, cucumber and zucchini.
  • Blueberry (or any berry!) gummies! This recipe is also on our Instagram feed.
  • Gelatine capsules. Whilst this might seem tedious, reports have been that it is super easy and can be worthwhile for those that are very nauseous. You can get gelatine capsules from a health food store or chemist, and just spoon it in. It seems obvious, but just make sure that depending on the size of your capsules, you have the correct dose for you.
