Coconut

Known for its versatility and nutritional benefits, coconut comes in many forms and has many uses. Coconut water is especially good for children with upset tummies or fever, and is an excellent way to soothe and hydrate. Get creative and make ice lollies using Coconut water, Apple juice and fresh fruit.

Oats

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure your child has a hearty meal ready for back to school. For a tasty and filling breakfast, porridge oats are not only tasty and versatile, but are ideal for poorly tummies or returning appetites. Try adding different fruits, nuts and seeds each day for a fun, colourful meal.

Packed Lunch

Making an interesting and nutritious packed lunch for your child every day can be challenging. However, it’s important to get the energy and nutrient requirements right to ensure happy, healthy children. Try getting children involved in making their lunch boxes and create sandwich faces and bright, colourful fruit and veg shapes, to add a bit of fun and make lunch time even tastier. Making lunchboxes the night before helps prevent last minute morning panics and wrong food choices.

Carbs

To help support nutrition during term time, choose complex carbohydrates including brown bread, pasta and rice. Lean protein sources such as tuna, boiled eggs, beans or chicken help sustain energy release and improve performance during school hours.
