In today's episode, I'm sharing valuable tips on maintaining a balance between festive treats and keeping your kids nourished. Here are five key points we'll be discussing:

The Importance of Regular Meal Times:  Discover how sticking to structured meal and snack times, especially for younger ones, can bring consistency and better nutrition to their day.

The Importance of a Good Breakfast:  Why breakfast can truly set the tone for a healthier day.

Reducing the Sugar Rush:  Learn three key nutrients—fat, protein, and fibre—that can help slow down the sugar rush, making a significant impact on mood, behavior, and overall health.

Supporting Children's Gut and Immune Health:  Explore the connection between fresh plant foods, fiber, and probiotics in supporting your child's immune system during the festive period.

The Benefits of Baking with Children:  Embrace the joy of baking with your little ones as we discuss how it not only introduces them to new foods but also incorporates essential life skills.
