During this workshop the children will learn about the importance of eating a healthy balanced diet. How different food groups make up the Eatwell Guide and how to plan their own healthy diet.
Breakfast
Our breakfast workshop highlights the importance of eating breakfast and where there may be lots of hidden sugar in common breakfast foods. It also teaches the children how to plan and eat a healthy balanced breakfast.
Packed Lunches
We work with the children to show them how they can plan and prepare a healthy packed lunch including which foods they might need to leave out of a packed lunch.
*For a small extra fee this workshop can be made into a cook and eat session where children produce a variety of recipes which they then eat for their lunch.
Sugar
We all know that we should be eating less sugar. This workshop helps to highlight to the children the foods which are high in sugar and foods which may contain hidden sugars. We also cover the government recommendations for sugar consumption.
Fluid
We teach the children how much fluid they should be drinking every day and which are the healthiest fluid choices to make.
Five-A-Day
In this workshop we look at why it is important to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, and the health benefits of this. We explore what is a portion of fruit and vegetable and how children can achieve their five a day. We also include some food tasting.
