Can you get a load of this colour! I got my mits on this Pink Pitaya Powder the other day at The Source Bulkfoods Bulimba and I am now obsessed. I made these cups, I made a pink cheesecake, pink icing for some cupcakes for G, pink porridge, pink smoothies, pink ice cream. I’m surprised we are not all pooing pink. This is the PERFECT alternative to those insane food colourings that are loaded with cr@p that you buy at the supermarket. Researchers have linked food coloring to allergies, learning problems, hyperactivity and mood disorders in children and I don’t know about you, but toddlers have enough mood disorders wild emotions to deal with without adding to the problems. This is the COLLAGEN POWDER I use, it’s optional but a great source of pure protein, and is excellent for supporting gut health, skin, hair, nails, joints & muscle repair. I add it to my coffee every morning, G’s porridge, our smoothies etc. It’s flavourless and dissolves in hot or cold liquids.
