Mixed Seeds Granola Bars

Every so often my children’s school have little get together for fundraising and everyone is asked to bring a little something. As much as I love the odd queen cake, I try to stay true to my cause and practice healthy eating. So I throw together these delicious Mixed Seeds and Granola Bars. If I make them for home use I usually add nuts but most schools are nut free zones these days so better to leave them out. I have also added a handful of dark chocolate chips and drizzled them with a little dark chocolate, after all it is a school funday. So here’s the recipe, feel free to add your own personal favourites.

How to give your child nutritious diet

During early childhood, children begin to establish habits for eating and exercise that stick with them for their entire lives. The first five years are particularly important and the nutritional intake has important immediate effect on growth, brain development, intellectual capacity, school achievement, emotional wellbeing and immunity. If children establish healthy habits, their risk for developing many chronic diseases will be greatly decreased. On the other hand, poor eating habits and physical inactivity during childhood set the stage for health problems in adulthood.

Wholegrain Spaghetti & Vegetarian Bolognaise

However most of these nutrients in red meat can be found in other foods too; so what I'm asking you to do is to add a vegetarian day to your weekly meal plan. Experiment with new vegetables, grains, beans and lentils. Invest in a 'spiralizer' and have fun turning all your vegetables into spaghetti! You could even attempt to perfect the almighty vegetarian curry.
