AddingGrowing Up Prebiotics to your kiddo’s routine doesn’t have to mean the same smoothie every day. This tasteless, textureless powder is incredibly versatile and can be mixed into just about anything your little one already loves—without changing the flavor or mouthfeel.

Here are 10 easy, kid-approved ways to addGrowing Up Prebiotics into your daily routine to support gut health and regularity:

1. Blend It Into a Morning Smoothie

Start the day off with a fiber boost by mixing it into a fruit smoothie with banana, spinach, and dairy or non-dairy milk. It dissolves completely and adds no taste—just gut benefits.

2. Stir Into Applesauce or Fruit Puree

A favorite for toddlers. Simply stir the powder into plain applesauce, pear puree, or mashed banana. Great for a quick snack or lunchbox addition.

3. Mix Into Milk or Milk Alternatives

Whether your kid drinks cow’s milk, oat milk, or almond milk, Growing Up Prebiotics dissolves easily. Shake it in a sippy cup or bottle with no clumps and no flavor change.

4. Mix into Oatmeal or Overnight Oats

Add a serving right into warm oatmeal or cold overnight oats in the morning. It blends in smoothly with no gritty texture and pairs well with toppings like berries and cinnamon.

5. Add to Yogurt or Plant-Based Yogurt

Mix it into plain or flavored yogurt (or dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond-based yogurt). Bonus: top with chia seeds or fruit for even more gut-friendly fiber.

6. Bake It Into Pancakes or Muffins

You can stir it into your favorite pancake, waffle, or muffin batter before cooking or baking. The prebiotics stay effective even when heated.

7. Mix Into a Nut Butter Spread

Add it to peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter and spread it on toast, bananas, or crackers. A creative way to sneak it into a snack.

8. Stir Into a Kids’ Hydration Drink

Mix it into a kid-friendly electrolyte drink, diluted juice, or flavored water. It blends in without altering the taste or texture, perfect after outdoor play or sports.

9. Sneak It Into Pasta Sauce or Soups

If your kiddo is picky about textures, add it to warm (not boiling) foods like tomato sauce, broth-based soups, or mashed potatoes. It disappears completely.

10. Serve It With a Spoonful of Honey or Maple Syrup

For older kids, blend it into a small spoonful of honey or maple syrup and serve it straight. This works well if your child prefers not to mix it into larger meals.

Bonus Tips for Success:

  • Use a dry scoop to prevent clumping

  • Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed

  • Stay consistent—daily use is key to seeing gut health benefits over time

Summary

From smoothies and yogurt to soups and pancakes, Growing Up Prebiotics can fit seamlessly into just about any routine. It’s designed to work with your family’s favorite foods. With a little creativity, you can help support your kiddo’s gut health in a way that’s simple, consistent, and totally stress-free.
