We took the kids strawberry picking at @cooloolabe

We took the kids strawberry picking at @cooloolaberries today and this is what we made with our haul, the latest recipe from my @sunshinecoastkidstoday Kids In The Kitchen column.

It's fresh, light and super easy to make, utilising some of this seasons sweet strawberries. Rich in gut healing compounds, probiotics and healthy fats, it’s decedent enough for dessert and nourishing enough for breakfast too.

I've popped the link for my Probiotic Coconut & Strawberry Panna Cotta recipe in my bio. and tagged the other publications you'll find it in.

LEMON, HONEY & THYME GUT LOVING JELLY GUMMIES //

LEMON, HONEY & THYME GUT LOVING JELLY GUMMIES //

Lemon, honey and thyme have long been used to remedy colds and sore throats thanks to their potent antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant properties that help to fight infection and break up mucus. We’ve combined them all in a delicious gut-loving jelly gummy to help combat any lingering Winter sniffles that the kids will love, and love making too!

Here’s what you’ll need…
- 4 lemons, quartered
- 4 Tbsp raw honey
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 Tbsp @wellfedkitchen_snacks Gut Loving Jelly Gummies gelatin

Instructions:
1. In a large jar place the lemons and thyme, then drizzle over with the honey. Cover and leave for a few hours (or overnight) - the honey will macerate the lemons and draw out the liquid
2. After a few hours, mash with a wooden spoon and then strain out the juice. Squeeze the lemon pieces as you are straining to get all the juice out. You should get 1 cup of juice. If not, top up with a little water or extra lemon juice
3. Pour juice in to a small saucepan. Sprinkle over gelatin, 1 Tbsp at a time, allowing it to bloom and turn in to a jelly blob
4. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin has completely dissolved
5. Pour in to @wellfedkitchen_snacks koala bear moulds or a baking tray and place in the fridge to set for 2-hours
6. Remove from moulds and store in the fridge for up to 5-days

CRUNCHY DATE BARK // Apparently all the cool kids

CRUNCHY DATE BARK //

Apparently all the cool kids on TikTok were making this, and whilst I’m not one for viral recipes - ok, the baked feta pasta I did make - Crunchy Date Bark looked too good to pass up. These are instructions for assembly rather than a recipe… no quantities, just follow your heart and layer up:

- Medjool dates, pitted
- Nut butter
- Toasted nuts
- Melted dark chocolate
- Sea salt, just a sprinkle
I added in cinnamon for some blood sugar regulation and sesame seeds for extra calcium

Chill in the fridge for 20 mins or until set.

IRON-RICH BLISS BALLS // Iron is so important for

IRON-RICH BLISS BALLS //

Iron is so important for kids. For their energy production, immune function and brain development - it’s critical for this in babies in fact. Yet, iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in children which can cause everything from fatigue, loss of appetite, delayed growth & development, sleep disturbances, frequent infections and behavioural problems. Iron aids the transport of oxygen through the blood and children are at higher risk of iron deficiency than adults, because they need more iron during growth spurts.

Liver is my number-one food when it comes to boosting iron. Gram for gram, it’s more nutritious than any other food. I’ve added a little liver powder to these bliss balls and the kids will be none the wiser that it’s even in there.

I make all my bliss balls with prunes too, a good source of plant-based iron and vitamin C to enhance iron absorption.

Makes: 14

150g sunflower seeds
250g pitted preservative-free prunes
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
2 Tbsp cacao powder
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp organic grass-fed beef liver powder*
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut, for rolling

Add sunflower seeds to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add all remaining ingredients and pulse until mixture forms ball and hold together.

Roll mixture into 1 Tbsp balls and roll balls in coconut to coat.

Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.

*I use @gelproaustralia organic grass-Fed (and grass-finished) Australian beef liver powder.

Ok, so I’m a bit late to the Easter party this year… but Oti and I just made these cr*p free kid-friendly Easter chocolates - #dairyfree, caffeine free, no added sugar and no added flavours or emulsifiers - made using @wellfedkitchen_snacks Carob Koala Bear mix and cute Easter egg moulds from @bigwaustralia. We added our own flavours with @eatmyberries freeze dried strawberries, @noya.nutbutter almond butter too… I’ll share the how-to in stories.

@wellfedkitchen_snacks have a complimentary upgrade to Express postage for all orders placed by Tuesday so you can make these in time for Easter!

A oldie but a goodie and a recipe that I keep coming back to… my Buckwheat Banana Bread. Quick to make and versatile too - working as both a bread or as muffins - and the flavour variations are endless: add in berries, choc chips, nuts/seeds or just enjoying it as is. Plus it freezes well making it a great one to pop in school lunchboxes.

We topped it with cultured butter and berry chia jam today and it was extra👌🏼.

Ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat flour
2 large or 3 small over-ripe bananas, mashed
2 free-range eggs
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180’C
2. Line a loaf tin with baking paper
2. To a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir together, then set aside
3. To a medium bowl, add mashed bananas, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk together until smooth
4. Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients and mix to combine
5. Pour mixture in to loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean
7. Allow to cool before removing from the tin – resist slicing it until it’s come to room temperature, otherwise it will crumble

BRAIN-BOOSTING BLISS BALLS // Brain-boosting bec

BRAIN-BOOSTING BLISS BALLS //

Brain-boosting because…

Walnuts are the top nut for brain health thanks to their high concentration of DHA, a type of Omega-3 fatty acid that has been shown to protect brain health in newborns and improve cognitive performance.

Hemp seeds contain high levels of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids at ratios that are perfect for the health of kids brains, and their brain needs plenty of healthy fats to function at their best!

Raw cacao is rich in flavanols, a plant-based nutrient shown to improve blood flow and oxygen to the brain, improving mental focus and attention span.

And made with prunes because you know I much prefer them for kids over dates.

Makes 15

150g walnuts *preferably organic
250g preservative-free pitted prunes *preferably organic
2 Tbsp cacao powder
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup preservative-free unsweetened desiccated coconut, for rolling

Place nuts and seeds in food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add prunes, cinnamon and cacao and pulse until combined. Add coconut oil and pulse until mixture forms a ball and holds together. Place coconut in shallow dish or plate. Roll mixture into 1 Tbsp balls and roll balls in coconut to coat. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
