note
These red digestive cubes feel like a special treat because of the color, but I still treat them as a very functional snack for days when Ethan’s stomach has been off. I keep the portions tiny and always test a single cube first before giving more.
To keep the base stable, I rely on a smooth pumpkin powder that blends evenly and adds gentle fiber for better stool shape . For a touch of natural sweetness without using syrup, I sometimes whisk in a hint of banana powder that spreads soft flavor through the mix without making it heavy .
