Smoothie Bowl Recipes for Picky Eaters

Picky eating phase is such a stressful stage for all parents. All parents worry about what their children eat and don't eat. However, it's important to strike a balance between encouraging children to listen to their own body cues and explore their preferences, and ensuring that they are being exposed to a variety of foods and building a healthful relationship with food as they get older. 

Smoothie is one of the best alternatives as it's attractive, and easy to make (well you just need to mix everything and blend!) which you can easily invite your child to be involved in.

It’s important to have calorie-dense meals to meet their energy requirements. Here are some simple smoothie recipes that pack with nutrients yet so easy to make:

2. 2 tsp Cocoa powder
3. 1 tsp Honey
4. 3 tbsp Yoghurt
