I have shared my simple flapjack recipe, supercharged with protein and healthy fats, a great after school snack, nut free so it can be included in the school lunch box.

A perfect snack to help avoid a "blood sugar rollercoaster". Which is the rapid ups and downs in blood glucose levels that occur when we eat foods high in sugar, causing a sudden spike in energy followed by a sharp drop, affecting mood, energy levels, and ability to focus throughout the day.

Supercharge your child's breakfast, with protein, try to include eggs, nuts, seeds, child-friendly protein powder, smoked salmon, and ham.

Protein provides a slow and steady release of energy, helping children stay full for longer. Protein helps stabilise blood sugar levels to improve focus and concentration.

Dips are a fun way to get kids to try lots of different vegetables. Even the fussiest eater might explore new or familiar foods with a dip. Even if they only lick off the dip and leave the vegetable.

Halloween is a great time to have some fun with food, which is important if your child is anxious around meal times and a fussy eater, it can distract them and they might try something new and enjoy it.
