We had a fab day being back at our pre-school class at Old Gatehouse Lenzie today. Here’s all our Food Heroes doing some tasting with Kay. So lovely to see them all so engaged and learning about healthy eating.

**We have now opened up our next Pre-School class for Lenzie on Friday 3rd April. Come along and join the fun. Visit our website to book.**

At food heroes we love a theme and what better theme this week than Valentines ❤️
Kids love when foods look interesting and fun so why not make heart shaped foods where you can out of their meals and snacks, do some baking using heart shaped moulds or make fun fruit kebabs with heart shaped cutters, you may be surprised at how much better they engage with the food and try new things! #valentinesfood #kidstryingnewfood #getkidscooking #trustadietitian ...

Are you a parent that worries your child isn’t getting everything they need from their diet? It’s always good to know that there are so many different sources of the vitamins and minerals we need.

Oranges are the most commonly known source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that our bodies can’t store or make so it’s pretty important we consume adequate amounts of it in our diet. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant which means it protects our bodies from disease, it boosts our immune system and is essential for healthy bones, teeth and connective tissue.

If your wee one doesn’t do oranges then here is a list of other great sources of this top notch Vitamin. Trying to incorporate these foods regularly into your families diet will ensure they get what they need.

Potatoes
Blackcurrent
Peppers
Fresh thyme
Kale
Spinach
Kiwis
Tomatoes
Strawberries

If you would like to come along to one of our classes where we encourage children to learn and have fun with healthy foods you can book in on our website. #getkidscooking #foodheroesscot #vitaminc #healthyeating #whatdietitiansdo ... See more

Our ingredient if the week is Mushrooms. They are definitely “fun-gi’s” in our Food Heroes cookery classes! They are a firm favourite that we use regularly as are really easy for little hands to chop! There are so many different mushrooms to choose from so it’s good to get children involved in trying different types as flavours can vary widely. They may like one and not another.
Mushrooms can sometimes be one of those veg that our kids are funny about. It’s usually the texture that puts them off. It’s important to keep offering them in different meals/different ways to get them to become the norm. It’s all about exposure!
They contain varying amounts of fibre and are a source of B vitamins and selenium - a powerful antioxidant that protects our immune system and damage to cells and tissues. Get them on the menu! #foodheroesscot #getkidscooking #mushrooms #healthyeating #healthykids #whatdietitiansdo ... See more
