Nourishing Nippers: real food ideas for kids lunch boxes

A great staple on the kitchen cookbook shelf! This easy to use little gem is packed full of the healthiest, nutrient rich recipes to give your kids the best start in life. The secret to your child developing a taste for healthy food, is training a young palate early!  If you do this, the battles later in life are fewer. Fewer struggles to get your kids to eat healthy meals as they grow, fewer illnesses and allergies, fewer sick days and much healthier gut function ( the seat of all health in the body). Childhood nutrition is not just a trimmed down version of nutrition for adults. Smaller bodies doesn’t necessarily mean smaller requirements. Because kids are growing at such great rates they actually often have a high nutrient requirement – of both micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and macronutrient (fats, proteins and carbohydrates). You can’t beat real food nutrition for nourishing nippers! Supplements, while incredibly useful in certain situations and for acute treatment just do not provide the same effects as getting your nutrients through nourishing, nutrient dense foods.

Nourishing your kids well is one of the best gifts you can give them!
