Mother and daughter enjoying making meals

Hey, mummies, are mealtimes turning into a daily battle?

Fret not; you’re not alone!

It’s totally normal for kids to go through a phase where they seem to reject everything you serve.

But don’t worry, there is a simple and nutritious way to turn things around!

Nutrient-Packed Sneaky Food

Packed with protein, calcium, and easy-to-digest goodness, yogurt is a nutrient packed snack for fueling your kids’ day.

Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack, it’s a versatile superfood that can seamlessly blend into their favourite meals.

This makes it an easy and delicious way to support their growth and keep them going strong throughout the day.

When it comes to choosing the best, Farmers Union Greek Style Yogurt stands out.

Made with 100% Australian milk and packed with live cultures like S. Thermophilus and L. Bulgaricus that helps support digestive wellbeing and good gut health, it’s the perfect choice to add that nutritious boost to your little ones’ meals.

If they are not fond of the tart taste, don’t worry; it’s creamy texture and versatility makes it easy to blend into smoothies, mix with fruits, or drizzle with a little honey to create an appealing taste that they’ll love.

Keep it discreet—they won’t know!

Flavours That Kids Love

Did you know that Farmers Union offers a 90g Kids range that comes with 1 billion probiotics per serve?

Probiotics support your kids’ gut health by promoting a balanced microbiome, which is crucial for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

This range comes with flavours that kids love, like strawberry, honey, vanilla, and mango while also delivering a good source of calcium essential for growth.

Ideal for kids 6 and up, it’s perfect for breakfast or a guilt-free snack.

So, mummies, you can relax now!

Make It Interactive

Kids are more excited about eating when they’ve helped create the meal.

So, get them involved in the kitchen.

Depending on their age, they can assist with tasks like cutting, peeling, or stirring. 

Just be sure to supervise them closely, especially with sharp utensils or hot items.

Early kitchen experiences will build their confidence and interest in cooking as they grow.

For a fun activity, let them help make frozen popsicles using Farmers Union Greek Style Probiotic Kids Yogurt:

  1. First, peel off the yogurt lid.
  2. Add fruits, mix and insert popsicle sticks. 
  3. Freeze for 3 hours or overnight. 

To enjoy, run a cup under warm water for 10-15 seconds, then pull out your popsicle!

On-the-Go Snacking

Mummies, if you are looking for a convenient snack solution, grab Farmers Union Pouches for a quick snack on-the-go.

They’re squeezable, easy, and create less mess – perfect for lunchboxes, busy mornings and kids to eat in the car.
