Healthy swaps at Leapfrog
Look out for our healthy swap updates on Famly.
We are committed to fostering healthy eating habits in young children by encouraging nutritious and balanced food choices. We believe that small changes can have a big impact on children's health, growth, and development.
Why Do We Promote Healthy Swaps?
Many everyday foods contain hidden sugars, additives, and processed ingredients that can affect children’s energy levels, concentration, and overall well-being. By making simple yet effective swaps, we can provide children with more nutrients while helping them develop a positive relationship with food.
Some of the key changes we encourage include:
Wholegrain Choices – Switching from white bread, rice, and pasta to wholegrain alternatives provides more fibre, vitamins, and minerals, helping with digestion and sustained energy.
Naturally Flavoured Water – Instead of sugary juices or squash, we encourage adding fresh fruit, mint, or cucumber to water for a refreshing and healthy drink.
Choosing Natural Ingredients – We recommend foods without artificial additives, such as Greek yogurt instead of flavoured yogurts, which often contain added sugars and preservatives.
Healthy Ideas
We understand that making healthier choices can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we actively support parents by sharing:
Easy, nutritious snack ideas for home and lunchboxes.
Recipes that focus on natural, whole foods.
Shopping tips for selecting products free from unnecessary additives.
By working together, we can create a healthier future for our children, ensuring they develop strong bodies, sharp minds, and positive eating habits that last a lifetime.
