It’s almost the end of the summer, and if your house is anything like mine, you might find the reins are off a little in terms of what the kids are eating. We’re having picnics and day-trips, ice-creams and barbecues, and doing all the things that summer’s made for, while not paying quite as much attention to that elusive five a day. It’s lovely to loosen the rules and watch their faces light up when they see what’s in the picnic basket, but it’s not something we can keep up forever.
With back-to-school on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to return to some semblance of healthy eating - but how to do it without being greeted by shocked faces and wrinkled noses?
In our house, the trick is to give them a little of what they love with some of the stuff that’s less popular – like slipping iceberg lettuce in with a hamburger, or peas into a creamy pasta or diced cucumber into one of these Fish Finger Mini Wraps made with delicious Birds Eye Omega 3 Fish Fingers. They’re simple to make, they look great, and it’s the kind of tea that gets an “ooh” from my kids every time we make it; not a wrinkled nose in sight.
