Next to the clear pouch, featuring a handwritten label that reads "BABY’S TRAVEL POWER BLEND: APPLE, BANANA & QUINOA," are the ingredients used to make the blend: sliced apples, a banana, cooked quinoa in a bowl, and cinnamon. In the background, a window looking out onto the sky and an airplane wing, a passenger seat, and a gray backpack are visible. In the foreground, there's a napkin with a "GATE A12" ticket on it.
