So what's the deal with fruit? 🍇Remember, it isn't about how much fruit your child eats, but what he eats it with. Pairing fruit with a protein and healthy fat will keep your child satiated longer. Try apple slices with some nut butter, berries with yogurt or ricotta cheese, or half a banana with a handful of sunflower seeds. . . Our bodies are designed to metabolise the amount of fructose contained in 2-3 serves of fruit a day but if your child has eaten a lot of foods containing added sugar, it may be wise to lower their fruit consumption on that day. . . . . . . . #fruit #berries #blueberry #wholesomechild #rawfood #fruit #vegtables #fructose #fructosefriendly #friends #fruitsalad #fruitlover #familyfood #familyfirst

When it comes to trying new or different foods, I have learned that young children respond best to incremental changes introduced slowly using careful, patient repetition.😇 . . I created the Wholesome Child 8-step guide to provide a clear, simple, easy-to-follow plan for parents wanting to maximise their child’s nutrition. It focuses on children from one to six though, older children will also benefit from the advice and enjoy the wholesome and delicious recipes. .

The psychology of food has as much impact on children’s food choices as the food being presented to them. . I absolutely love cooking and baking with my children. It’s not always the quickest, easiest, cleanest or most organised way of getting things done – but it’s a great way of incorporating play and learning into food preparation 🍰❤️ . 📸via @rhianna_and_co . . . #cooking #baking #cake #wholesomechild #rawfood #cakedecorating #cakes #healthy #familymeals #familytime #familygoals #family
