From as young as 2 years old to early teenage years it's imperative that you supply them with accessible, healthy snacks and suppers. For working parents, finding the time to cook wholesome snacks and suppers is no picnic.

It explains the main building blocks of food for children as well as foods for energy, brain-boosting snacks and what to eat for exams.

Over fifty Children's Superfood tips are interspersed throughout the book and explain simply the nutritional benefits of the most common foods such as salmon, broccoli, spinach, sweetcorn, tomatoes, pasta, eggs, chicken, meat, peanut butter, porridge oats, raisins, kiwi fruit, berries, blueberries and watermelon.
