Child obesity is a prevalent issue here in Australia. Overweight children run a greater risk of becoming overweight adults and are more likely to develop health related problems when they get older. For example, heart disease, high blood pressure and or diabetes. The main factors influencing overweight and obesity are poor diets and inadequate physical activity.

Our Docs approach to childhood obesity starts at home. So, if we can get kids to fall in love with healthy food, then they are more likely to stick with these healthy eating patterns later in life.

Get some doc-spiration from these healthy treats that we know you and your kids will absolutely love!

This creamy alternative to ice cream is incredibly easy to make and has absolutely no added nasties! It’s completely dairy and gluten free and all you need to do is blend together two frozen bananas with your choice of fresh fruits, nut butters. It’s delicious on its own or can be topped with fresh fruit like strawberries, shredded coconut or some raw muesli or buckwheat for a crunchy bite.

  1. Bliss balls

There are so many great bliss ball recipes out there for you to choose from that it’s so easy to find one that’s right for you. The Doc recommends this healthy bliss ball recipe:

Blend together 1½ cups of pitted dates, ¼ cup sunflower seeds, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and dark cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Once these ingredients are combined, roll them out into bite size balls and roll in desiccated coconut.

  1. Fruity pops

These fruity pops are healthy, refreshing, and delicious. Simply mix together 2 cups of coconut water with the juice of one lime. Pour the mixture into icy pop moulds and add your choice of fresh fruit. The Doc’s favourites are sliced kiwi fruit and frozen raspberries.
