Mamamake It Your Way! Easy Summer Foodie Ideas For the Whole Family
At Mamamade, we LOVE seeing how you Mamamake It Your Way with our meals, baby weaning purées, and finger foods - from the fun ways you serve them to your little ones, to how you transform them into completely new recipes - the possibilities are endless!
Scroll on for a delicious selection of summer foodie ideas - perfect for family picnics, garden parties, weaning on the go, and keeping little ones cool in the warmer weather…
FLIPPIN’ FANTASTIC! PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRIES & CREAM 🍓🥞
It wouldn’t be summer without serving up strawberries and cream (plant-based or other!). Give this classic dish a Mamamade twist with the addition of our fam-fave Mango Oat Pancakes. Trust us, you’ll be hoping your little one doesn’t finish so you can have their leftovers!
FREEZE THE DAY AND TRANSFORM PURÉES INTO ICE LOLLIES 🍦
Clare from The Life Lately transformed our 100% organic fruit and veg purées into tasty, naturally sugar-free ice lollies. Yum! A fun activity for the whole family, and a great way to keep little ones hydrated in the warmer months, while ensuring they are tucking into healthy ingredients!
SNACK TIME! TUCK INTO TASTER PLATES 😋
Did you know that all of our baby finger foods follow the same cooking instructions, meaning you can take out and defrost the number you need, rather than the whole pack? Try creating mini tasting plates for your adventurous foodies, so they can snack on and explore a whole host of flavours in one go!
SPICE UP YOUR FINGER FOOD!
Whilst our range of finger foods pack a big-flavour punch on its own, introducing dips is a tasty way to add more variety and textures to your little one’s baby led weaning journey. Plus, it will help with their fine motor skills development. Here’s little Ottie tucking into our Five Spice Rice Bites with some sweet chilli sauce!
BABY-FRIENDLY TRIFLE MADE WITH MAMAMADE PURÉES 🍓
Another classic British Summer staple - the humble trifle! If your little one is past the purée stage but you still have pots in the freezer, this one is for you… Mamamake it your way by reusing our purée pots and layering up our 100% organic baby food with fresh fruit, cream or yoghurt, and anything else you fancy, to create the ultimate baby-friendly dessert pot.
PANCAKE AND FRUIT PLATTER - PERFECT FOR PARTIES! 🥞
They ain’t no party like a pancake party! Creating your own pancake grazing board is super easy and fun for little ones to get involved with, too. All you need are a selection of our fam-fave pancakes, fresh fruit, and a sprinkle of creativity! Check out this blog post for all the pancake grazing board inspiration you need!
FLAPJACKS MADE WITH MAMAMADE PORRIDGE - IT’S OAT SO SIMPLE! 😋
Our Mamamate Josephine Elaine transforms our porridge into the most delicious flapjack bites perfect for snack-hungry toddlers! Head over to our Instagram to for the full recipe video.
FOUR INGREDIENT OVERNIGHT OATS 🥣
Our Mamamade porridges don’t have to be served warm! Adam from At Dad’s Table shows us how to create family-friendly overnight oats using our Blueberry, Banana & Lemon Porridge, coconut milk, chia seeds and fresh fruit. Yum! Full recipe here.
And there you have it… Lots of foodie ideas to inspire your summer snacks, picnics and meals! We’d love to know if you’ll be making any - or have some exciting toddler meals or baby food recipes of your own? Just drop us a comment, we can’t wait to hear from you.
