This mama has a two year-old and a four year-old that, she says, if they had their own way, they’d live on purely toast, chicken nuggets and rice crackers all day, every day.
Here are some of Laura’s favourite kid-friendly recipes (that her little ones will actually pick at)…
Mum shares her top 5 healthy recipes that her fussy eaters LOVE
1. Homemade chicken nuggets
Laura says, “These are by far one of the most loved eaten recipes in our house. To make it adult friendly I pop it with some salad in a wrap. I also make some homemade wedges to go with it.”
Made with wholemeal breadcrumbs, lean chicken breast and other delicious ingredients – we have no doubt this recipe will quickly became a fave in your household too.

2. Pancakes
Pancakes are always a winner at breakfast time.
Laura says, “My kids love pancakes and I find them really easy to sneak good stuff in. A current favourite has mashed banana and The Healthy Mummy Kids Smoothie mix and they inhale them!”

5. Popcorn cups
This recipe is popular with Laura and her son – in fact they make a version of this every week to bring to kindie!
“I’ve found as we make it more I’m able to add in seeds and dried fruit (nuts for our home version). It’s so yummy and an easy way for younger kids to get involved in the kitchen,” says Laura.

“Some things he surprises me with loving so we just don’t give up. Thankfully, The Healthy Mummy is full of amazingly easy and yummy kids recipes to try.”
