Honest Mum’s Weekly Meal Plan

Monday

• Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo sandwich on wholemeal bread
• Hummus with carrot sticks
• Chopped apple and black grapes (top tip – to keep the apple from browning a little squeeze of lemon juice will help)
• Hartley’s No Added Sugar Strawberry Jelly Pot.

Tuesday

(Mediterranean-themed)

• Pitta bread ‘pizzas’ spread with tomato puree and sprinkled with cheddar cheese and 1-2 sliced olives, grilled the night before and cut into wedges. You can alternate toppings adding chicken, ham, sweetcorn etc. I used to make these with my brother as a kid and remember the fun we had creating our own personalised pitta pizzas
• Red and green peppers.
• Chopped and de-seeded watermelon.
• Greek yoghurt with a drizzle of honey.

Nutrition fact: peppers are a source of vitamin C which can help support little ones’ immune systems.

Wednesday

• Brown pasta salad with chopped tomato and olive oil.
• A boiled egg.
• Sliced cherries.
• Hartley’s No Added Sugar Blackcurrant Jelly Pot

Nutrition fact: wholegrain foods like brown pasta are rich in fibre and some of the B vitamins like thiamine and vitamin B6 – these help to release energy from food.

Thursday

(Gluten-free)

• Sliced chicken, a little mayo and lettuce corn tortillas.
• Homemade coleslaw.
• Homemade gluten-free oat and coconut cookies (recipe here: http://honestmum.com/healthy-quick- and-simple- oat-and- coconut-cookies/).
• Chopped strawberries.
• Plain yoghurt with fresh fruit e.g. the blueberries left overnight in yoghurt sweeten and turn it purple without any added sugar.

Nutrition fact: oats are a good source of manganese which can help little ones to release the energy from the food they eat.

Friday

• A lentil and bean salad with sweetcorn and ham.
• Buttered rye crackers and slice of Edam cheese (or any cheese you have in the fridge).
• A banana.
• Sliced cucumbers.
• Hartley's No Added Sugar Raspberry Jelly Pot.

Nutrition fact: cheese is a good source of calcium which helps to keep little bones growing properly.
