Snacks and Healthy Alternatives for Kids


Let's talk about snacks and meals for children. Or, rather, healthy alternatives for commonplace kids' snacks and healthy alternatives for kid-friendly dinners.

Hands up in whose freezer / fridge I can find:
  • chicken nuggets
  • fish fingers
  • chocolate milk (or pink milk for "Charlie and Lola" fans)
  • frozen potato chips?
Hands down (mine included, which is a relief, because I had to type with my toes).

Fear not, though, help is at hand. I found this amazing tool, called a Snack Swapper. Check it out for healthy alternatives to pizza, lollies, ice cream, potato crisps and yes, chicken nuggets and pink milk too.

Most of the alternatives you can even cook with your children (double the Brownie points for being Super Mum). And here is a recipe for home-made chicken nuggets just for fun.
