With SOS snack times and those ‘are we there yet?’ moments in mind, The Chia Co. has Aussie parents covered with the launch of its new Chia Pod® Smooth – making family life run that little bit smoother.
A true, dairy-free alternative for positively simple snacking, The Chia Co. has reimagined its ever-popular Chia Pod (the original chia pudding) range for kids, creating a smooth, ready-to-eat pouch – perfect for little mouths.
Blending sustainably farmed, sun-ripened Australian chia seeds, harvested in the Kimberley region of Western Australia with coconut milk and real plant-based ingredients to create a smooth texture, the new Chia Pod® Smooth range is available in three kid-friendly flavours – Chocolate, Banana and Mixed Berry. This powerhouse pouch also provides children with a good source of omega-3, fibre and calcium.
Giving parents peace of mind with a tasty, nutritious, mess-free and allergen safe option, the plant-based alternative to yoghurt is gluten-free, nut-free and vegan friendly, making it suitable for school lunchboxes, party bags or even post-sport treats. Chia PodⓇ Smooth is also ‘reusable’, meaning an unopened snack can be placed back into the fridge in the unlikely case it doesn’t get eaten, rather than going in the bin.
With a passion for farming and producing nutrient rich food that positively impacts the global community, Founder and CEO of The Chia Co., Australian farmer John Foss is thrilled to launch a range of Chia Pod specifically for kids.
“As a father of three and after our eight year-old daughter was diagnosed with coeliac disease earlier this year, I am personally passionate about ensuring there are good snacking options for busy parents on-the-go, that are not only convenient but offer that much-needed peace of mind by being free from FSANZ allergens, gluten-free and packed with all the nutrients found in chia,” says John Foss, father of three children, a daughter aged eight and twins aged five.
“We therefore wanted to make it easier for kids (and parents) to enjoy the taste and nutritional benefits of our Chia Pod range, a fantastic plant-based, non-dairy yoghurt alternative. Ideal for any snacking ‘emergency’ moment, Chia Pod Smooth offers blended chia pudding in a no-mess pouch, perfect for little hands and little mouths.”
The Chia Co.’s new range is available nationally in selected Woolworths stores.
