No need for breakfast

Nutritious meals for kids

According to clinical dietician Rudo Tshabalala, children use most of their physical energy and brainpower at school, which is why their meals need to be nutritious and well-balanced.

Rudo told Briefly News:

"Most meals should contain protein, carbs, and healthy fats. This could be something as simple as bread with egg and mayonnaise.
"Parents should also strive to add good fibre such as fruit and vegetables. This could be steamed or raw carrot sticks, an apple, or a fruit of choice."
