Yup, getting toddlers to eat healthy is a challenge many parents face!
Meal prep is a great way to introduce healthy eating and get the little ones involved in the kitchen. Quick, fun recipes like making your own fruit ice lollies or healthy smoothies can be a tasty treat for kids and a nutritious snack to boot.
You could also get creative with everyday eats. Cutting sandwiches into shapes with cookie cutters or presenting meals in cute bento boxes makes eating fun and exciting. Toddlers love eye-catching colors, so packing in those veggies into a meal and making it visually appealing can work wonders!
Some days it's also nice to have handy, go-to snacks prepared - like those fruit and veggie pouches or no-bake oatmeal energy balls made with rolled oats, nuts and dried fruits. These are great alternatives to keep in the fridge for when you're too tired to cook but still want to offer healthy foods.
For fussy eaters, it's often about getting creative and keeping things fun!
