School Holiday Survival... Nutrition tips
In the school holidays it can be hard to keep kids happy and well fed... 👦🏼👧🏻👧🏼👦🏻 Here are a few of my top nutrition tips for surviving the school holidays...👇🏻 #schoolsoutforsummer
Active kids need regular, healthy meals and snacks 🌿🔥to provide the fuel required for growth & development 💪🏻and to keep hunger at bay😊
⚽️Holiday camp essentials
Healthy snack ideas for a day of activity:
🍓🍑🍒3 pieces of seasonal fruit
💥wholewheat wrap or sandwich to provide slow release carbs for energy
🍿 substitute popcorn for crisps to reduce saturated fat intake
🥜🍇add in some mixed dried fruit & nuts for a nutrient dense energy fix
🍶freeze yoghurt pouches to boost calcium & keep the lunchbox cool,
🧀🥚for a quick protein fix add in sticks of cheese or a hard boiled egg
💧don’t forget to include a refillable water bottle!
🏡At Home:
Shortcuts to help ensure kids get the taste for the good stuff
🍒Fruit Bowl - Have a bowl full of whatever fruit is cheap and seasonal (usually the same thing!) for kids to snack on..
🥗Veggies - keep a box of vegetables crudités in the fridge to dip in low fat humus & tomato salsa to keep their veggie intake up
🍦Make your own - don’t spend a fortune on fancy ice lollies, make your own, or better still get the kids involved!! (Recipe on my IG story https://instagram.com/p/B0gSzfFlFtl/)
👩🏼🍳Batch cook - choose dishes that you can easily make double and stick one in the freezer to save you cooking another day
🌳Get outside - Pack a picnic and head for the hills! Kids thrive on fresh air & exercise and everyone loves a picnic :)
👫Delegate - let the kids choose a recipe then prepare the meal together to engage them in the process of cooking food from scratch
