My First Eating Plan for Little Ones

So here it is, Han's 'Food For Thought' eating plan for kids. Whilst I am not a mumma and do not understand what is like to be faced with the daily challenges of feeding little ones, this is a topic that I'm really passionate about. Following an 80/20 clean eating menu, I have learnt so much about the impact that processed food can have and I can't help but think of how little ones must feel. I know that these wonderful recipes may not be suitable for everyone, but I hope that they inspire you try something new. Bon Appetit xx
