One of the trickiest aspects of parenthood is ensuring that your little ones are getting all the nutrients they need – and that their meals are delicious enough that they’ll want to finish each bite! As we head back into the school year, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut with the same-old meals and snacks – but B-well together with Munchie Monster and his colourful friends are here to lend a helping hand with the fantastical Taste Explorers cookbook!
With over 25 recipes created in partnership with dietitian Dr. Monique Piderit as well as nutrition tips and a time-saving 2-week meal plan that shows you the ideal breakdown of meals and snacks, the free, downloadable cookbook is an easy-to-use tool that will take the stress out of the school year for busy parents. Even better, with cute, eye-catching space critters used throughout the campaign and cookbook design, even your kids will want to get involved in meal preparation!
INGREDIENTS FOR BETTER LIVING
Driving this innovative, colourful, back-to-school cookbook is B-well, the well-known producer of oils, mayonnaises and dips using locally grown canola, owned by Southern Oil (SOILL). “As dietitians, we’re all about good-for-you fats,” says Monique. “Canola oil is a big feature in the B-well range – whether as standalone oils, in cooking sprays or in mayonnaises and sandwich spreads – and it’s rich in heart-smart, brain-benefitting fats called monounsaturated fat and low in the not-so-good saturated or trans fat. The B-well mayos and Sandwich Spread are also eggless and dairy-free, making them excellent products for parents catering for kids with food allergies.”
“At B-well, we’re all about producing ingredients for better living, so naturally a range of recipes that promote nutrient-rich eating for children is right up our alley!” says Lunique Theunissen, Brand Manager for B-well. “B-well Canola Oil offers plenty of benefits for the whole family – it’s endorsed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa and is one of the very few oils to carry the CANSA Smart Choice seal. It contains up to 12% omega-3 fatty acids, has an excellent omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio of 2 to 1 and can reduce the production of molecules and substances linked to inflammation.”
COOKBOOK INSIGHTS
“As a busy mom of two who leaves home early in the morning to start my workday, the Taste Explorers Cookbook is something of a passion project for me!” says Lunique. “A lot of items in the cookbook are assembled quickly (like our Veggie-Packed Meatballs) or can be made from leftovers (such as the Sneaky Cauli Chicken Curry Mayo Wrap) which are timesavers that mean I get to spend more quality time with my kids when I get home. My hope is that this cookbook will help parents across the country to plan and cook balanced meals for their little ones quickly and easily – and most of all, enjoyably!”
