Sweet Potato Broth with fresh bread

Celebrity Chef Lesley Waters continues with her delicious recipe series for toddlers

We all know what it’s like when it comes to tea time with toddlers – it can be hard enough getting them to sit still at the table let alone anything else! Between the ages of one and three years it can be difficult to get them to eat the right foods particularly as some toddlers can become fussy eaters.

Help is here with Celebrity Chef and mother Lesley Waters, along with SMA nutritionist Anne Sidnell who have designed 6 easy meals to satisfy your tot’s taste buds, and give them a good dose of the nutrients like Iron, Omega 3 & 6 and Vitamin D they need for healthy growth and development. The meals have been designed in conjunction with SMA Toddler Milk*.

In the second webisode in the series, Lesley cooks up a delicious sweet potato broth that was a firm favourite with her children.

Lesley’s tip: When my children were toddlers I found it good to give them different types foods to experiment with. This recipe is great as it contains calcium from the milk, and starch from the sweet potato, and is a great way to introduce different textures.
