1. Veggie fries?!
There's no doubt that french fries are kids' favourite — but they're usually deep-fried in hydrogenated oil and are heavily salted. Instead of serving them fries, why not prepare some eggplant fries or baked carrot fries?
2. Make fruit lollies
Simply blend together the banana, strawberries, blueberries and yoghurt. Then, pour the mixture into a bread tin and put lollipop sticks in, evenly spaced apart. Freeze overnight — and there you have it! Click here for the full recipe.
3. Put a face on it
Make mealtime fun by arranging together a plate that looks back at your kids — how cool! Best of all, you can involve your child by letting them assemble their own meal!
4. Stick with small portions
Less is more with fussy eaters! Let them try new foods in small portions so they don't feel overwhelmed.
5. Tempt them with shapes
Equip your kitchen with silicone moulds so you can provide your kids with creatively made pieces of food!
6. Pull out cool utensils!
If mealtimes are still moving at a snail's pace, consider getting them fun utensils to get food into their mouth! Kids will definitely gobble up the food in no time. Personally, I enjoy giving my kids utensils shaped in the form of carrots!
