Festive family fun
Hello again from the team who sent you your Family Flavours cookbook.
As promised, we're getting back in touch for Christmas to share recipes, crafts and more for you and your family to enjoy over the holidays.
Christmas can quickly turn into a sugar-fest but it doesn't need to. We have 4 recipes for you to try, all created by expert nutritionists:
- Fro-yo bars (recipe online): put away the tin of chocolates and pack up these bars for a Boxing Day walk.
- Mediterranean pasta bake (recipe PDF): a quick, nutrient-packed supper for all the family.
- Root veg wedges (recipe PDF): parsnips aren't just for Christmas Day! Swap out the crisps and offer these healthy snacks for when you settle down to watch a family film.
- Apple sandwiches: so easy to make that you don't need a recipe! Simply slice an apple into circles, not going over the core. Use a cookie cutter to cut a festive shape in the centre of the apple slices. Spread a thin layer of nut butter on one side and stick the slices together.
Encourage children to help you make these recipes. Learning to cook is proven to help kids develop lifelong healthy eating habits.
