It can be challenging trying to bring in foods to support gut health when everyone in the family is so different. One of my boys is lactose intolerant, one has a sweet tooth and one is obsessed with cheese! They also have their least favourites and fussy moments.
Alongside these ones I’ve shared, the best way I’ve found is to start with the foods they already love and tweak. Add more veggies, sneak in some bone broth, throw in extra fruit.
And then slowly, in your own time, start introducing new recipes here and there (ones that feel exciting, not overwhelming).
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Some weeks you’ll try something new, other weeks you’ll stick to the family favourites, and both are completely okay.
Because I know from experience, we can make this so much more complicated than it has to be. Gut health doesn’t have to look like a whole new menu.
It’s small swaps, familiar meals, and the occasional new recipe (realistic, sustainable and still delicious!) - I often find recipes and inspiration in the free Coles and Woolies magazines.
Happy tummies all round. That’s a win in my book. 🙌
Leave a ❤️ if you want to make gut-loving food feel a little less overwhelming, that way I know to share more on this topic!
