The Good Foundation
Let’s face it, maintaining a healthy balanced diet isn’t always easy. There will be times when the thought of preparing lunch or dinner for your family seems like it requires far too much effort, and on these occasions, it is easy to reach for takeaway options.
Australian Health and Wellbeing statistics tell us that 1 in 4 Aussie children/adolescents aged 2-17 are considered obese, which means that, now more than ever, finding healthier alternatives to much-loved food is vitally important.
One way that you can ensure your family feels like they’re not missing out on their takeaway favourites, while still ensuring that they’re receiving essential vitamins and nutrients is by creating homemade versions of popular takeaway foods. Making ‘fakeaways’ at home means you know exactly what is and isn’t going into them, it also means you can include more of what you love and less of what you don’t. Check out some of our favourite fakeaway options:
