A clever mum-of-two who’s known for sharing lunchbox ideas with thousands of parents online has revealed how she makes pink cream cheese sandwiches for her daughter.
Alison, who goes by the name Mum Made Yum on Instagram, coloured the cream cheese using Just Blends’ Pink Pitaya powder and posted a photo of the filled lunchbox.
The powder is packed with antioxidants, fibre, vitamin C, iron and calcium to promote a healthier immune system as it’s made from 100 per cent pure freeze-dried pitaya fruit.
‘It doesn’t change the taste, but it looks pretty cool and adds extra nutrients too,’ Alison wrote.

Alison experimented with the mildly sweet powder after her daughter Zoe asked for a ‘colourful lunch’.
According to the product description, the $25 powder is sourced from Thailand and can be used to make smoothies, juice, pancakes, acai bowls, colourful yoghurt and baked goods.
Pitaya, also known as dragon fruit, contains essential fatty acids that nourishes the skin, hair and nails.
