Now that you are focused on your own healthy eating, you may be wondering how to get the rest of your family on board.
Even though it may just be you that wants to lose pregnancy weight, the whole family can benefit from your healthy eating lifestyle.
It can also instil good eating habits into little ones from an early age.
But what do you do if the little people in your life are fussy eaters, and you don’t want to make two separate dinners every night?
Dish out some of our tried and tested family recipes, which are designed to suit all ages and tastes.
4 quick tips for feeding fussy eaters:
- Keep calm and be patient, any anxiety or stress will not help the situation
- Lead by example by trying new things and talking about the flavours of food
- Offer them some things you know they like along with the new foods
- Remember that they won’t let themselves starve, so don’t force it
4 family friendly recipes for fussy eaters:
Anti vegetables? Try Lasagne
Many fussy eaters are fond of pasta, so why not indulge them a little by offering a healthy version of an old favourite. You can even try using wholemeal pasta sheets for extra nutrition.
Lasagne is a great place to add some secret veggies too – grated carrot, sweet potato or zucchini, chopped spinach, or onion blends in well.

Only wants fast food? Try Homemade Pizza
Often letting little people get involved in the preparation of food makes them more inclined to try it out.
Let your kids ‘help’ make the pizza dough, and assist you in adding the toppings.
It gives some of the control back to them which can help you win them over when it comes time to eat it.
Try our simple Pizza Recipe here with 3 different topping ideas.
Only wants nuggets? Try Crumbed Chicken
Another favourite for many a fussy eater is chicken nuggets.
Here is a healthy way to make your own crumbed chicken at home that not only tastes delicious and crispy, but is also packed with adult-friendly flavour from the herbs and cheese.
