Healthy Eating Week 10th-14th June

This week is Healthy Eating week! A week created by the British Nutrition Foundation to spread awareness and encourage healthy eating:

"We are encouraging everyone to ‘Give it a go’ this Healthy Eating Week. Whether that's trying to have one extra portion of fruit or vegetables a day, being a bit more active, experimenting with a new recipe or using up leftovers - we want everyone to give Healthy Eating Week a go!"

Raising healthy eaters can be really hard. Children often prefer processed foods, refuse veggies and additionally with the cost of living crisis fresh fruit and veg can be so expensive. There is helps at hand though through these websites:

The Simply Veg website has a wealth of information to help parents and care givers encourage their children to eat more veggies.

It's proven that getting kids involved in making meals and snacks can really help them eat a more varied diet. If you want to get your kids involved in the kitchen but not really sure where to start? Check out the Food Fact of Life Website for a handy recipe resource that allows you to select recipes age of child, type of food, complexity and cooking method.
