Feeding teenagers is a weird ride. They eat at weird times, sometimes they eat a lot, sometimes they forget to eat 🤪 . They won’t eat breakfast, but want a 6pm dinner then a 9pm dinner. Lunch is either all gone or barely touched. But, rather than give up, or force feed, I choose to have heaps of relatively good options there in a pinch. An after school snack, 2nd dinner, pre training fuel…..I try and have a roast chook broken down ready for rolls/wraps, rice or pastas, boiled eggs, yoghurt. Another hack I’ve found is that if fruit it cut up into bite sized pieces, in ready to go containers, they get inhaled, go figure. This week I also made some Mexican chicken and rice wraps, wrapped and ready to either be eaten cold or chucked in the toastie maker, also some egg and cheese sourdough rolls (brekkie or random snack) and I made a batch of granola and Bircher. Should last us a couple of days! Oh and I pre made and froze a curry and felafels for my upcoming (favourite) weekend of the year, womens circle getaway! Amazing what you can pump out I’m in a couple of hours! Thanks for the reminder to use what I already had! No pre supie shop here! 😙
