Unicorn smoothies

June 28, 2018 by Emma 7 Comments

What theme do you plan for a 3 year old girl’s summer birthday party? Why fairies and unicorns of course! To be honest, Miss A has been at the forefront of this idea, demanding a fairy party since March, when she was very disgruntled that it was her brother’s birthday and not hers! So the invitations have gone out this week and now it’s time for the fun part – planning the menu. I know lots of parents don’t look forward to catering for children’s parties, especially when dealing with allergies but I love it the challenge of finding fun, child friendly food that noone will even realise is allergy free. Step in, unicorn smoothies!

Earlier this month, Ciao Gusto got in touch to ask if I could create a summer drink with one of their Valsoia dairy free milks. I had never heard of Valsoia before but it has been Italy’s premier health food brand since 1990 and is wholly plant-based and GMO-free. They have some great dairy free options  including ice cream sandwiches, pizza and bechamel sauce, which you can buy through the Ciao Gusto Italian Deli on Ocado.

We chose to use their Valsoia oat milk in our unicorn smoothies, as that’s what Miss A drinks, but you could easily substitute it for their soya or almond milks instead.

This smoothie is really healthy, looks beautiful and is perfect for a party or special occasion. It’s literally just dairy free milk and fruit but the kids will think they are getting a real treat. If you want a healthier alternative to the sprinkles then try these rainbow coconut sprinkles from Eats Amazing.

    These are BEAUTIFUL! My children are dairy-free and I wouldn’t have thought to make something like this for them if I hadn’t seen your post. I bet they would love it though! Thank you for such a clever idea – I will give these a try at the weekend!
