Frozen Fruit Lollies: A Delicious and Nutritious Summer Treat

Summer is almost here, bringing with it warm, sunny days perfect for outdoor fun, relaxation, and delicious frozen treats. What better way to embrace the season than with a refreshing, homemade Frozen Fruit Lollie? Not only are these frozen delights perfect for beating the summer heat, but they are also a great way to incorporate essential nutrients into your child’s diet.

Incorporating NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow into these frozen fruit lollies enhances their nutritional value, making them a fantastic snack for children. NESPRAY Fortigrow is a school-age powdered milk that supports children’s growth, cognitive development, and immune system function.

The Importance of Proper Nutrition for School-Age Children

Proper nutrition is essential for children’s growth and development, particularly during their school years. A well-balanced diet supports brain function, energy levels, and overall well-being. Nutrients like iron, calcium, protein, and vitamins play crucial roles in ensuring children perform their best in school and stay active and healthy.

Did you know that consuming two glasses of NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow daily helps school-age children prepare for their day? The blend of essential nutrients in NESPRAY Fortigrow is designed to meet the developmental needs of growing children. Whether it’s for improved concentration, stronger bones, or a robust immune system, this milk powder is a valuable addition to their daily diet.

Key Nutrients in NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow

Cognitive Development and Learning

NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow contains iron, an essential mineral that plays a critical role in cognitive development. Iron supports memory, concentration, and learning abilities, ensuring that children can grasp new concepts efficiently. B-vitamins, also present in NESPRAY Fortigrow, aid in nervous system function, which is essential for brain development and overall mental well-being.

Immune System Support

Children are exposed to various germs daily, especially in school environments. A strong immune system helps them fight off illnesses and stay active. NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow contains zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C, all of which are vital for supporting immune function.

  • Zinc plays a key role in cell growth and immune response.
  • Vitamin A supports vision and immune health.
  • Vitamin C helps in wound healing and enhances the body’s defense against infections.

By incorporating these nutrients into their daily routine, children can enjoy better immunity and reduced chances of falling sick frequently.

Growth and Strong Bones

Growing children require adequate protein, calcium, and vitamin D for strong bones and muscle development. NESTLÉ NESPRAY Fortigrow is rich in these nutrients, helping to build and maintain a strong skeletal structure.

  • Protein is essential for muscle growth and tissue repair.
  • Calcium strengthens bones and teeth.
  • Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, ensuring proper bone health.

A diet rich in these nutrients, combined with regular physical activity, ensures children grow up healthy and strong.
