  • Each pouch contains the equivalent to 100 grams of fresh fruit.
    Because we eliminate all the water out of the fruit ... you obtain 10g of freeze-dried fruit in our pouches. This 10g of fruit contains exactly the same amount of nutrients and vitamins as 100g of fresh fruit.

  • We don't add sugar to our products. The snacks are sweet and bursting with flavour and this all comes from the original fresh fruit. The products only contain naturally occurring sugars.

  • Yes, thanks to the freeze-drying technology we lock in all the goodness (vitamins & other nutrients, taste, colour, …) at peak ripeness of the fruit. That’s
    why 1 portion of our fruit snacks contain exactly the same nutrients & vitamins as 100 grams of fresh fruit.

  • Smart question! Again, thanks to freeze-drying! We harvest fresh fruits at peak
    ripeness. It is in optimal condition in terms of taste, colour and shape. Then we freeze the selected fruit by using a rapid cooling process which protects and preserves the vitamins, sweet taste, fibre. Once frozen, we start the freeze-drying process during which the moisture is removed from the fruit, by applying a vacuum condition and regulating the temperature. All the water
    evaporates, and what’s left is a crispy fruit snack, bursting with flavour.

  • Traditional jars of vegetable puree and baby food are prepared through high-heat processes, which affect the original quality, nutritional value, taste, texture, and colour of vegetables and fruits.

    Freeze-drying is a unique method that removes water from fresh produce through sublimation. We freeze raw, fresh ingredients, remove the water, and concentrate the nutrients into a powder. This preserves everything good and healthy and gives the product a long shelf life. Without adding synthetic vitamins and minerals.

    Just add the necessary amount of water or milk and you have a quick, easy, and nutritious meal for your child.

  • Yes, of course! We strictly monitor the safety of our ingredients and the freeze-drying process.

    Every child is different, but as soon as they enjoy vegetable purees from your own blender, ours are fine too. Usually starting between 4 and 6 months. The snacks can be given as of 10 - 12 months.

    And after that ... there is no age limit. Go ahead, sweet tooth!

  • Life is Bananas lets you choose how much water, milk or breast milk you add until the consistency is just right for your child. Completely customized!

    Freeze-drying works in such a way that it extracts water from fresh vegetables and fruit to make them last longer. It may sound surprising, but this makes our baby puree powders fresher, more nutritious, and tastier than traditional jars of baby food.

    As a bonus, they also use 12x less packaging. The pouches barely take up shelf space!

  • No, all of our recipes are free from dairy, gluten and other allergens.
    They are also 100% plant-based and contain no additives, preservatives or added sugars.

  • Each pouch contains 1 serving of baby puree. A sizeable serving, of about 200 grams. Depending on the age and appetite of your little one, half a pouch could also be enough.

  • That’s right! Room temperature is all you need. Life is Bananas baby puree is ready for you, wherever and whenever you want. On the road, on holiday, from Plopsaland to Center Parcs. Ready for all the unexpected moments you experience as a parent.

    Does your little one not yet eat the full portion of 200 grams? Keep the opened pouch in the fridge until you use it the next day.

  • Absolutely! No blender, steamer, babycook or microwave needed.

    It's easy-peasy and ready in 1-2-3:

    1. Put the powder in a bowl and add 150-200 ml of boiled warm water. (Warm water is tastiest, but cold or room temperature works perfectly too. Wanna add milk or breast milk? Go ahead!)
    2. Grab a spoon and stir away.
    3. Turn your spoon into an imaginary airplane and you’re rrrrrrready!

    You can choose the consistency of the vegetable puree yourself: the more liquid you add, the thinner the puree.

  • Life is Bananas baby food and snacks have a shelf life of approximately 18, resp. 12 months. The date is printed on each pouch.

    Once the pouch is open or the powder is mixed with water or milk, it is best to keep it in the fridge. Just like other fresh products. Cover the leftovers airtight and store them for up to 24 hours.

  • Honestly? It’s delicious! The freeze-drying process preserves the flavors of fresh fruit and vegetables exactly as you know them.

    Sometimes children have to taste something up to 10 times before they like it and every day can be different. Adding more or less water to the Life is Bananas puree helps them get used to the flavors of fruit and vegetables. Step by step, bite by bite.

    So even when you need a practical and quick solution, your child still gets the chance to taste a 100% nutritious and natural meal. Just as yummy as homemade.

  • On the pouches you can see exactly what is in them. No banana. Because life is bananas enough already!
