Rhian on Today show

As a mum of two young boys, Rhian (like many other mummies) is ALL too familiar with the challenges of feeding her ‘fussy eaters’.

In the television segment below, Rhian reveals her best fussy eater tips, tricks and recipes to help encourage little ones try and enjoy new and healthy food!

Here are Rhian’s top 4 tips for catering for fussy eaters:

1. Get the kids involved

If they’re making it as well, they’re invested, says Rhian.

You can get your children mixing ingredients for these yummy Oat Biscuits.

2. Make it fun

Try putting the muffins on sticks with fruit to make their food look more interesting. It’s just all about experimenting and finding creative ways to present food to them so it’s more appealing.

Here Rhian has made the Raspberry Swirl Muffins and put them on sticks with fruit.

3. Hide lots of healthy stuff in their food

Bliss balls are a great snack to make, as you can hide a lot of fruit in them.

Rhian made the Zesty Chocolate Bliss Balls for Today. They’re easy to prepare and you can add dates and prunes into these.

4. Make healthier versions

Popcorn for example is not a bad food. It’s high in fibre but it’s the added sugar and preservatives that make it unhealthy. The Popcorn Slices are a healthier version than salty or buttery cinema-bought popcorn.

“Kids like this type of food, it takes a couple of minutes to make all of these foods and you can make it exciting,” says Rhian.
