TGFM HEALTHY TUMMIES


Healthy Tummies, Thriving
Kids
As the creator of TGFM, I believe that instilling a habit of regular exercise in children is one side of the coin, with the other—perhaps even more crucial—being the food they consume on a daily basis.
Eating nutrient-dense foods is essential for children as it provides the necessary fuel for their growing bodies and developing brains. Nutrient-rich foods support their physical and cognitive development, ensuring they have the energy and focus needed for day-to-day activities and learning. Conversely, a diet high in junk food can lead to energy spikes and crashes, mood swings, and long-term health issues, making it crucial to prioritise wholesome, nutrient-dense options for a healthier and more vibrant childhood.

The Porridge
Nutritious alternative to off the shelve cereals.
RECIPE
Prep Time: 30min Serves: 4
-
250g Porridge Oats
50g Dried Fruits (Chopped)
80g Nuts Of Choice (Chopped)
2 Large Apples (Shredded)
30ml Maple Syrup Or Jam

-
Step 1: Start by heating a large pot on high heat. Add the porridge oats and toast them for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula.
Step 2: Remove the pot from the heat and continue stirring to prevent the oats from burning. At the same time, boil water in a kettle. Once the water is ready, add it to the toasted oats and mix. (if the pot is still hot, the water instantly will start boiling be careful not to get burned)
Step 3: Add the shredded apple, dried fruits, and either maple syrup or jam.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low to medium and keep the mixture on the stove for another 25 minutes, stirring and adding water as needed to prevent sticking.
Step 5: For added flavor, you can include milk of your choice, or keep it vegan.
Step 6: Serve the porridge in bowls and top with fruits and additional nuts if desired.
