My 9 year olds homework on healthy eating……..?
Requires her to find a healthy recipe from anywhere around the world which is nutritious, high in fibre and low in fat and sodium. It needs to be a simple recipe that can be made at school but something the children will eat…………I am at a complete loss and need some help from you lovely lot!
I look forward to some yummy answers. Thankyou!
My little sister used to watch a programme on BBC cbeebies called ”big cook, little cook”, they make lots of healthy snacks but aim them towards kids, making the food shaped like something interesting but it’s also really simple to make and fun for the kids.
The website is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/bigcooklittlecook/cookerybook.shtml
The recipes are split into categories such as sweet, savoury and fruit but there is also loads of recipes to choose from, so you might find something on there to use.

Avoid GM food at all costs. Plenty of vegetables, some meat and preferably some Yorkshire puddings. You cannot beat it. (Well, you have to beat the pudding mixture)

How about a trail mix. Cereal, nuts, raisins, and then something sweet for a nice mix (m&ms, Chocolate chips, marshmellows). I have done this with lots of different things, I usually let my kids help me pick what to put in it.
Cherrios
Chex
Multi grain cheerios
Dried cherries
Sun flower seeds
Banana chips
Possobilites are endless………(o:

I agree with Cheffy. For a 9 year old the dish needs to be simple.
When kiddoo gets older, look at Punjabi vegetarian cuisine - healthy, very tasty, and quite easy to prepare and cook in a domestic kitchen.
PS. Come on Cheffy, I love reading your answers. I’m cheering for you!
