When it comes to making food for your children, it’s often the simple things that they love the most. This is good news for busy parents, as it makes it easier to prepare healthy eating snacks, dinners, and desserts for them.
Today we have two snack ideas, two main meal options, and two sweet treats – all with 5 or less main ingredients. It goes without saying that these are great for adults too!
1. Wholemeal Date and Orange Scones
Feel like a domestic goddess when you pull these from the oven. They take no time at all to throw together, and use loads of healthy ingredients. Perfect for afternoon tea or for the lunchbox.

2. Crispy Chicken Nuggets
Store bought nuggets or those from a take away joint contain many ingredients that aren’t even recognisable as food, plus more sodium than a kid’s body knows what to do with.

3. Bounty Bites
Just 5 ingredients is all it takes to prepare these gorgeous little sweets. Use some good quality dark chocolate and it will taste even better.

4. Strawberry Roll Ups
The roll ups from the supermarket contain a stack of sugar and dubious amounts of real fruit. This healthy option is fun for the kids to get involved with cooking too.

5. Homemade Fish Fingers
For high fives all round at dinner time, try out these tasty homemade fish fingers. The store bought kind are generally high in sodium and can contain up to 25 ingredients. Our recipe has less than a quarter of that!

6. Choc-Banana Split
Can you really make a seriously indulgent treat without any ice cream, cream or added sugar? Yes! You can!
