Morning or Afternoon tea

For the kids it's trying to keep them fueled for learning and play at morning recess, and for the adults it's the middle of the afternoon that usually has the energy levels dropping dramatically, we all need some easy "go-to" items to help avoid relying on pre-packaged, convenience products which are often high in salt, sugar & fat.

 

Always aim for high fibre (vegetable products/ingredients & wholegrains) and some protein to help keep you full and provide a sustained source of energy to keep you going until the next meal.

  • Grab a piece of fruit, hummus dip and carrot sticks, air-popped popcorn, a small tub of pot-set yoghurt, or something small and homebaked full of fibre & protein to keep you full and provide energy to keep you going.(recipes: mini oat & fruit muffins,  bliss balls, muesli-bar slice.)
  • Pre-prepare as much as you can, wash up those easy bits on the weekend for the week ahead e.g. cherry tomatoes, grapes, celery (trim and wash), so you can just grab and chop them into portion sizes (if needed) and pop them into a container each day
  • Nut free schools can be challenging for variety in snack time options, take a look at our recipe for mini oat & fruit muffins,  bliss balls, and muesli-bar slice where we use seeds instead of nuts.  The muffins & muesli bars are freezable, so again are great lunchbox fillers when in a hurry, just grab one from the freezer when needed, terrific extras for kids busy with after school sporting activities who need a lunchbox brimming with options. We have also added a recipe for allergy friendly cupcakes that can help when you need to provide a homemade alternative for school celebrations.

Make an appointment to see Tracy if you need more assistance with snack ideas, and to understand how to make choices that fit in with your likes, routine and level of expertise in the kitchen that best support your health goals.
