Mealtimes

Thank goodness we do not live in a black and white world, how bland and drab life would be! Colour brightens our life and more importantly keeps us safe and well. Colour guides us to choose the freshest healthiest foods to eat, in a black and white world we would never see the green mould on bread or brown bruises seen on fruit past its sell by date.

Children love colour - colourful food is no exception. If their plates are bursting with fresh coloured goodness, they will usually demolish every mouthful. Meal times can be a mouth-watering display of colour to delight and appeal to every sense.

Be creative - use as many colours in each meal as possible and involve toddlers and children in the preparation of food. Let them choose the colours they are drawn to.

Childrens natural state is to be happy, healthy and living in wonderment of each day. Lets allow them to reach their full potential by feeding them colourful and natural food with as few additives as possible, we need to consider getting back to basics, growing a few items ourselves, buying fresh produce daily and cooking simple but delicious and vitamin packed meals. A healthy child is a happy child.
