Research shows that one of the best ways to get your kids eating a wider variety is to get them cooking.
In our Kids Health Quest Membership, families are learning that food is a fun experiment. Our monthly Cook-Alongs have proven to be successful in getting kids more actively involved in their food and to try new foods and flavours.
As well as the monthly Cook-Alongs, there's a whole host of other Cook-Alongs loaded up too. Like this How to Make Hot Cross Buns hosted by Indrani.
One of the things we teach kids is to learn to ask What's In My Food? and to do this by turning the packet around and reading the ingredients. Try this out for Hot Cross Buns. I'm sure you'll be shocked by what's in them.
Making your own hot cross buns is so rewarding. It does take some time but they are so worth it.
