Sometimes, getting the kids to eat healthy foods can be a struggle, especially with brightly coloured, cartoon shaped, “toy included” foods as competition! Here are some of the tricks of the trade that you can use to make healthy food, fun!
Apple Doughnuts
Core apples and cut into slices to get doughnut shaped pieces
“Ice” the doughnuts using coconut yoghurt / fruit puree / nut butter
Decorate with berry and muesli “sprinkles”
Banana and Nut Butter “Sushi”
Take a wholegrain wrap and coat in nut butter of your choice
Place a banana along one edge and roll into the wrap
Chop into little slices of “sushi”
Fruit Kebabs
Chop a selection of fruit and thread onto skewers
Frozen Yoghurt Bites
Take coconut yoghurt and pipe into little “buds” on a baking paper lined tray
Pop into the freezer till frozen
Optional: coat berries or small pieces of your child’s favourite fruit in the yoghurt and freeze
Cucumber Hearts
Cut cucumber into slices
Use a small heart shaped cookie cutter (or cutter of choice) to cut out shapes
