Shaking Up Mealtimes (Literally!)

- A fun idea to make salad more interactive for the whole family -

Equipment needed:
- One cocktail shaker
- Chopped up veggies, rice, pasta or whatever you fancy

Method:

1 Get the kids to spoon in whatever they fancy into the cocktail shaker. Try to include new items on offer as well as they may just surprise you!
2 Have dressings, lemon, balsamic vinegar, seasoning on offer.
3 Whack the lid on and shake. Take lid off, put your plate on top, flip over and voila.

A lovely little accompaniment to a meal or for a main. I think I love this more than my kids to be quite honest!

😇 BENEFITS 😇

👍 Great for kids who are fearful of mixing up food. They can add what they wish and build confidence slowl

👍 Creates a new take on familiar foods but presented differently

👍 Encourages independent serving

👍 Gets everyone out of a mealtime funk where you feel it’s all gone a bit sour and stressful lately!

👍 There is little waste as it can be put back in fridge for your lunch or another day!

🤔CONS 🤔

None 🤓

This is not a gimmick to trick kids into eating more salad, as that approach doesn’t tend to end well 🙈 and trust is lost. I just love thinking of ways of making mealtimes fun, not just for the kids, but for the whole family...and this includes my dog!

Please watch short video below on my children having a go at the salad shaker!
