Building a balanced plate for your kid doesn’t have to be complicated 🥰

On this plate:
🐟 Wild-caught cod fish fingers – gentle protein + healthy fats, with omega-3s to support brain and eye development.

🌽🥬 Corn & spinach purée – veggies + fiber, giving iron, folate and vitamin C for growth and immunity.

🥔 Sweet potato hash cooked in avocado oil – slow-release carbs for steady energy, plus beta-carotene (vitamin A) and potassium. The avocado oil adds extra healthy fats for little brains and bodies.

Together, this plate gives your baby:
✔ Protein
✔ Healthy fats
✔ Veggies + fiber
✔ Slow, nourishing carbs

If you want to learn how to build balanced plates, manage blood sugar, and get simple baby + toddler recipes like this, come join us and at our upcoming event

🔔 Wednesday November 19th 7:00-8:30PM

We’ll walk you through what to put on the plate, how much your child really needs, and easy meal ideas you can use right away.

Save this for later & share with a mama who needs ideas 💫

Does your baby throw food on the floor, refuse new foods, or get mixed messages about food? 🥲

“Just finish your rice.”
“No more sugar.”
“Okay, one more treat lah.”

& are teaming up to host a live workshop for parents and aunties, all about raising balanced kids (6 months–6 years) through food – using Montessori principles and intuitive, independent eating. 💚

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🌱 Why food is more than nutrition
A gentle reflection on what food meant in your childhood – and how that shapes the way you feed your kids today.

🚩 Common myths we hear at home
“Fat babies are healthy.”
“Fruits make the tummy cold.”
“Snacks = biscuits + juice.”
We’ll debunk these with humour, empathy and science (no shaming, promise).

🍽️ How to build a balanced plate (6 months–6 years)
Simple visuals using real foods your kids actually eat, plus Montessori-friendly ways to involve children so they become more independent, confident eaters.

🧃 Blood sugar basics, made simple
Why kids get “hangry”, how to reduce sugar crashes, and what to pack in lunchboxes and after-school snacks.

🥦 Montessori-informed picky eating strategies
Respectful, gentle approaches to throwing food, refusing new foods and “I only want snacks!”, so mealtimes feel calmer for everyone.

🤝 Communication between parents & aunties
Respectful scripts and practical tips so everyone feels heard – and your child gets consistent, calm guidance around food.

📝 Mini Q&A + ‘one thing I’ll do differently’
You’ll leave with 1–3 easy changes you can start this week.



Perfect for:
✨ Parents in Hong Kong with kids aged 6 months–6 years
✨ Aunties / domestic helpers who cook, feed or pack lunchboxes
✨ Families who want less food drama and more confident, independent eaters

📍
📅 Wednesday, November 19th 2025
⏰ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
🎟️ Limited spots – link in bio to book via Eventbrite

Let’s raise kids who feel safe, confident and curious around food – together. 💛

Hair feeling thinner, brittle, or turning white early?

Your blood sugar swings might be part of the story. When glucose rides a rollercoaster, follicles get stressed, fibers weaken, and pigment cells tire out. Genes matter—but your daily habits do too.

Quick wins:
• Build balanced plates (protein + fiber + healthy fat with carbs)
• Walk 10–15 min after meals
• Sleep earlier, manage stress
• Check key labs (A1c, fasting insulin, ferritin, thyroid, B12, vitamin D)

Real talk: when your meals are nutrient-dense, snack cravings calm down.

But… pregnancy, travel, and turbo-charged toddlers happen. So let’s make on-the-go munching work for you, not against you.

Breaking news: while writing this, I confirmed my dad eats like a toddler—so these swaps are for ages 2–82.

Why swap these snacks? What’s inside that backfires:

Raisins → concentrated sugar + sticky texture that clings to teeth → blood-sugar spikes + cavity risk.

Digestive biscuits → refined flour, added sugar, palm/veg oils, emulsifiers → low fiber/protein, fast crash.

Cheerios / sugary cereals → refined grains, added sugar, flavorings; vitamins are fortified back in but don’t stop the spike → trains a sweet palate.

Saltines → white flour, refined oils, lots of sodium, almost no fiber/protein → fills bellies, not bodies.

The ripple effects:

Ultra-sweet/salty foods reset taste buds, making real food taste “meh”, making picky eating worse

Some emulsifiers/additives can irritate the gut lining, disrupting digestion, immunity and mood

Low fiber/protein = poor fullness cues, so kids (and dads) keep snacking.

Over time, a high ultra-processed diet is linked with weight gain, dental issues, and metabolic problems.

Drop the snack you want to upgrade in the comments (e.g., “raisins,” “digestives,” “Cheerios,” “saltines”) and I’ll reply with cleaner, mess-free swaps. 🍏✨

It only takes 10 minutes and 7 pantry staples to make this crispy sprouted Asian-inspired veggie pancake (aka okonomiyaki) 🤌 (GF • vegan)

Why we love it at home:
• Kid-approved: tender inside, crispy edges
• Lunchbox-friendly: cut into strips or minis
• Partner-pleaser: big flavor, light on the gut
• Blood-sugar smart: fiber + fats keep you steady
• Upgrade: fold in chopped kimchi for tang & kick (GF/vegan options)

Did you know your snack pairings can make or break your energy levels (and day)? This is true for toddlers and kids too!

When you eat carbs or sweet foods on their own, your blood sugar rises quickly… and then crashes just as fast. By adding the right mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, you can turn almost any snack into a blood-sugar friendly one. ✨

That’s where Innuttly Butter comes in! A simple spoonful can change how your body responds to everyday foods, keeping your energy steady and your cravings at bay!
