Dips, Spreads & Sauces

Kids love to dip! It makes eating more interactive and can be a fun way to encourage them to enjoy more fruits and veggies. Not only that, but dips, spreads, and sauces can add healthy fats or protein to help keep those little tummies feeling fuller for longer, making snacks more balanced and nutritious. Some of the dips, like our guacamole, beet dip and carrot hummus are also made with veggies for that extra boost of goodness.

Our sauces and spreads are developed with kids in mind, lower in salt and sugar than most options, with many containing blended fruit or vegetables. One of our most popular recipe is this hidden veggie pasta sauce.

While making your own might seem overwhelming at first, with a good blender or food processor, many of these recipes can be whipped up in no time. Plus, you can easily adjust them to suit your child’s and family’s preferences.
