We know that children are often fussy eaters, which makes maintaining their diets healthy all the more difficult. As a parent, you want to make sure your child is getting the right nutrition, and that they are training their taste buds to eat more than just chicken nuggets and cheese sandwiches.

To help you get some more vitamins and nutrients in your child’s diet while you’re still working to persuade them to try new foods, we have this easy-to-make recipe, which is a favourite amongst the Strathpine ELC children.
