But wait too long and they could pick up unhealthy habits in the meantime. Registered dietitian Dr Monique Piderit emphasises the value of hands-on cooking activities in teaching kids about nutrition. <em><strong>\u201cInvolving children in meal preparation can significantly benefit their health. Research shows that children who cook are more likely to make healthier food choices.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nDr Piderit shares some tips for ensuring children have nutritious school lunches, snacks, and dinners:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Balanced school lunches<\/strong> Include a mix of lean proteins (like chicken, beans, eggs, yoghurt, milk, maas), whole grains (such as wholewheat bread, crackers, high-fibre pasta), and a variety of colourful vegetables and fruits. This combination ensures children get essential nutrients to keep them energised throughout the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy snacks<\/strong> Opt for snacks that are high in fibre and low in added sugars. Examples include apple slices with nut butter, carrot sticks with hummus, yoghurt with fruit or a handful of unsalted nuts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nutritious dinners<\/strong> Focus on balanced meals that include a lean protein, a variety of vegetables, and whole grains. Incorporate healthy fats, like nuts, peanut butter, and those found in canola oil and mayonnaise, to support overall health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fun and nutritious cooking activities<\/strong> B-well has launched their Taste Explorers Cookbook in collaboration with Dr Piderit. Packed with more than 25 nutritious recipes, it helps parents create healthy and delicious school lunches and dinners for their kids. You can download your own copy of the Taste Explorers Cookbook through their website bwellfoods.co.za and start making delicious, nutritious meals with your children today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>We think these three kid-friendly recipes from the Taste Explorers Cookbook will get kids excited about nutrition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SWEET POTATO FISH CAKES WITH LEMON MAYO DIP<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Encourage kids to enjoy seafood combined with nutritious vegetables. <\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-37436\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-396x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"396\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-396x400.jpg 396w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-1013x1024.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-768x776.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-416x420.jpg 416w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-696x703.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2-1068x1079.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/kids-food2.jpg 1330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What you\u2019ll need:<\/strong> 1.6 kg sweet potatoes, diced; 50 g frozen peas;<br \/>\n\u00bd bunch fresh chives, finely chopped; 3 cans tuna, drained;<br \/>\n1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1 large egg, beaten (or 3 tablespoons B-well Sandwich Spread as an egg replacement); 1 tablespoon plain whole wheat flour, plus extra for dusting; 2 tablespoons B-well Canola Oil; 1 small onion, chopped; Salt and pepper to taste<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFor the dip:<\/strong> 2 tablespoons B-well Thick &amp; Creamy Mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon plain yoghurt; 1 teaspoon lemon juice<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to make:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.
