Nutritional values

The peppers provide an extra boost of defensive vitamin C; the cream cheese brings plenty of protein and bone-strengthening calcium to the table. Ideal for growing children!

For adults or teenagers who like to eat spicy food: flavour part of the cream cheese cream with a little chilli powder or Sambal oelek.
