I’ve always been about taking a dish and making it healthier but as a mum navigating through the difficult toddler years, it’s become even more important. Don’t get me wrong, Bella has some healthy (and odd) favourites – avocados, raw cauliflower, raw mushrooms and any kind of fruit – but if she had her way, her diet would consist mainly of mac and cheese, chocolate, fries and lasagne (after scraping out all of the meat sauce).

So here is a breakfast with extra healthy goodies that still feels like you’re having something dessert-like and indulgent for breakfast. It’s been pimped out to give her extra nutrients like magnesium, sulfur, vitamin C and omega fats.

Serves 1-2
