In season
Make the most of In-Season
Improving your gut diversity doesn’t have to be difficult. Simple whole foods and small changes can go a long way in helping your family feel their best.
Start Small -
Try adding a different fruit or vegetable to your trolley each week, or make the switch from sliced bread to a whole-grain version.
2
Eat More Fibre
Include more fruit
Aim for eating whole or minimally processed foods 80% of the time, then leave 20% for your treats. Balance is so important! Bangin’ Beans
1
Add beans or lentils to stews, blend them into sauces or even roast them as a yummy lunchbox filler.
3
Variety is the Spice of Life -
Eating around 30 different plants each week is a great way to support a healthy gut microbiome. This includes all vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds (ground for smaller children) beans, and spices!
Include Fermented Foods -
A favourite for your gut bugs! Mix a little kefir into yogurt, then top with berries and seeds, making it a super snack for after school.

Aileen Cox Blundell’s Top 5 Tips
Think of Snacks as Little Meals
Snacks should be small nutritious meals that help bridge the gap between main meals to give your little one energy and extra nutrients, such as toast with smooth peanut butter.
Meal Planning Changes Everything!
Make a list and include lots of variety for different days, then stock up while you are doing your weekly shop.
Busy Mums Need Snacks Too
Not eating enough food throughout the day or skipping meals can often lead to late-night snacking. Try to keep snacks high in fibre and protein for fullness.
Keep it Simple
Rotate a few easy options, such as fruit, yoghurt, mixed seeds, or crackers and cheese over the week, then add in the freezer recipes.
Stock the Freezer
Pick 2-3 recipes each week that are great freezer fillers, such as muffins, fritters or my chickpea bites.

Easy wins with salmon, prawns & family favourites
Fish might not always be the easiest sell at the dinner table—but with a few clever tricks and crowd-pleasing flavours, it can quickly become part of the weekly rotation. Whether it’s crisp goujons with dipping sauce, juicy prawns tossed through noodles, or a flaky salmon bake, fish is fast to cook, rich in goodness, and perfect for busy weeknights.
SEAFOOD AT HOME
Don’t overcook it
Fish cooks fast— salmon, prawns, and white fish all only need a few minutes of heat. If it flakes or turns opaque, it’s done.
Use bold flavours
Soy sauce, lemon, garlic, butter, paprika, or fresh herbs all go brilliantly with fish and help win over picky eaters.
Serve it simply
Fish goujons, prawn noodles, and baked salmon with roast potatoes are all easy wins. Add a good dip or dressing to help seal the deal.
Get the kids involved
Let them help crumb the fish or drizzle on dressings—they’re more likely to eat what they’ve helped make. 1 3 2
