Harvest to Highchair launched its Beyond the Highchair Shakables as nutritionally balanced fresh-to-frozen cubes that can be used as smoothie starters to support families. The packs pair a fruit and a vegetable with natural proteins plus spices and dates to build a nourishing plant-based smoothie base. These smoothie starters can be placed in a blender with the liquid of one's choosing and blended to create a quick and easy meal.
Beyond the Highchair Shakables are created in decadent varieties that taste like carrot cake, orange popsicles and chocolate-covered strawberries, offering flavorful options that will tempt kids and adults of all ages.
Harvest to Highchair's president and CEO Ann Read was inspired to create Beyond the Highchair Shakables after a friend's teenage son got in an accident and needed a way to be easily nourished during his recovery.
