My Number One Child Nutrition Tip For Parents


As a Holistic Nutrition Consultant, here's my number one child nutrition tip for parents.

It's this...

Keep your child's blood sugars stable throughout the day.

It seems simple, but how often do we simply feed our kids cereal for breakfast or give them fruit as a snack or fuel them up on lots of packaged foods throughout the day?

None of which is inherently bad. And sometimes as parents, time is of the essence, so convenience foods are very helpful.

But for the most part, many kids:

  • Start the day hungry because they didn't have a balanced breakfast.
  • Get to lunch time hungry because they filled up on empty snacks in the morning.
  • Eat a carb-heavy breakfast with little protein.
  • Don't have enough healthy fats in their diet.
  • Have too much sugar throughout the day.
  • And don't stay hydrated enough.

Sound a bit like your child?

It's okay, because I've been there too.

One thing that has helped me with balancing my child's blood sugar is by always pairing my child's snack with a protein and fat.

Take a piece of fruit for example. It's natural (tick), it's healthy (tick), but it will spike your child's blood sugar without any sort of protein or fat paired with it.

Whenever I give my kids' fruit, I like to pair it with some cheese or nut butter.

Keeping your child's blood sugar throughout the day is actually simpler than you might think.

Flourish Fridays

I’m trying to keep things more consistent on here, so I’m going to start writing a Friday article all about how to eat well, live well and truly flourish without making extreme compromises on health. Here is my first Flourish Friday. Welcome, friend. I love food. My version of leisure time is sitting down once the kids are asleep, with a warm cup of tea or hot chocolate and watching homemaking cooking vlogs on YouTube. I love the process of collecting fresh vegetables, herbs, spices and meat...

Last year, I hit a rock. I almost landed in hospital for it. My husband took time off work, my family dropped everything to help us with the kids and I went on a long three month journey of unravelling some core beliefs I had about myself. It’s a very sobering experience when your seven year old daughter finds you on the shower floor in a pool of water belonging to the shower and your own tears. It’s even more humbling when you can barely answer her gentle question, ‘Mama, are you okay?’ I...

Happy Easter friends! If you read my last email a few days ago, I had shared that I was moving completely over to Substack.
