Eat Your Greens!

Did you know:

96% of our children don't get enough fruit and veg?

Which is disappointing considering there's sooo much to choose from. But if the kids are really not convinced, here's some tips on smuggling some of the good stuff into their meals.

• Try adding finely chopped carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, onions or mushrooms into a spaghetti bolognese sauce.

• Make smoothies. You can use several different fruits in one recipe - so experiment!

• Milkshakes go down well too, simply mash up some ripe bananas/strawberries, pop in a blender, add ice cubes and milk and blend until smooth.

• Mash sweet potatoes, swede, parsnip or carrots into mashed potato.

• And my personal favourite: Make home made pizzas with lots of veg toppings. Sweetcorn, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and onions all work well!
