You’ll find lots more healthy snack recipe ideas on the Change 4 Life website from Choc Cherry Popcorn Cakes to Pizza Pitta Faces. Yum!
The amount of hidden sugar, fat and salt in foods can be surprising. Encourage your kids to try the Food for Thought quiz with your kids to help them think differently when choosing drinks and snacks.
If you’re worried about your child’s weight, and want your family to enjoy a healthier lifestyle, our Family Lifestyle Club (FLIC) could be for you.
FLIC is a FREE eight week programme for children aged 8-13 and their families which runs across Leicester and Leicestershire.
You can find out more by calling 0116 222 7154 or emailing FLIC@lnds.nhs.uk
