Primula Pods Bring Adventure To Kids Meals
Family favourite Primula is adding a sprinkling of
imagination and a huge dollop of adventure to children's meal times by creating
some exciting recipes featuring their new cheese snack, Primula Pods.
Using the two new Primula Pod flavours, Cheese and Cheese
'n' Chive, the delicious recipes include mouth-watering delights such as
Volcanic Pod Burgers, Dee's Cheesy Pod Boats, Butterfly Pod Pizza and Dinosaur
Skewers.
The recipes are inspired by the fun illustrations of
Primula's cute mouse character Mr Nibbles and his family, which feature on
Primula Pods easy-open plastic shell packaging. The dishes have been specially
created to make it suitable for children to help when cooking, as well as being
nutritionally balanced. Pods are packed with flavour, high in calcium and with
a firm consistency that makes them the ideal healthy lunchbox snack or
after-school treat. Children can join the Nibbles family's adventures on the
magical online world of Pod Island, featuring exclusive games, stories, puzzles
and activities to enjoy www.podisland.co.uk.
