Baby food brand Ella's Kitchen recently entered into the frozen food products category with an all-new line of healthy, vibrant meal choices for young ones.
The collection of convenient, frozen foods includes everything from muffins and falafels to star-shaped chicken nuggets and savory cottage pies. While Ella's Kitchen produces a range of food products for children under the age of one, these new frozen products are branded as part of a sub-range for 'Big Kids' up to the age of about eight.
These new products are just as colourfully packaged and nutritious as the brand's previously released products, with subtle cues that help parents to make well-rounded meal choices when it comes to choosing healthy sides. To emphasize the ease with which these food products for kids can be made, a small clock icon is pictured on the front of the packaging, representing how many minutes each item takes to prepare.
