My son is 22 months old and like every other child, he is also a super active kid and a fussy-eater. Which means that he needs good food to power his entire day, but he refused to eat any good food while I struggle to feed him.

Despite my endless attempts at feeding him healthy fruits and vegetables, I don’t think he was even mildly interested in eating the healthy food I made for him. He does, however, have a taste for junk food, even at this very young age. Naturally, I was always worrying, considering how important they are for his health and development. I tried many ways to make my child like healthy food instead – from all the home remedies, to the tips and tricks I read, feeding my son the right food so that he could get his vital nutrients was a challenge.

As childhood is such an important stage in his growth and development, I used to be worried like any other mom about his food and what nutrients it contained. I wanted to provide him a balanced and nutritious diet, which would be rich in Vitamins and Minerals.

I wanted to make food that was healthy a part of my child’s habits, but I knew it would also have to be tasty so that my child would be tempted. But now, thanks to a secret weapon, I have a trick that makes feeding a fussy eater like mine much easier.

My secret weapon is Nutralite Mayonnaise. It is eggless, and has a smooth and creamy texture. My favourite flavour to use is the Cheesy Garlic flavour, which is mayonnaise that is accompanied with a tinge of garlic. And the reason I love adding it in my son’s meals, is that it is fortified with Vitamin A, D & E and can be used to make a variety of dishes.

Kids need a good diet, which not only fulfils their carbohydrate and protein needs, but also their micronutrient needs. Vitamin A promotes normal growth and development, Vitamin D strengthens the immune system and regulates the absorption of minerals, and Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can be protective against various illnesses.

So once I knew what I’d actually be feeding my child when I introduced a serving of Nutralite Mayonnaise, I was excited to add it to his snacks.

As my child loves junk food, I had to make his favourite food healthier, so I used Nutralite Cheesy Garlic Mayonnaise to make some Cheesy Garlic Bread. This appetizer and quick snack, when cooked with this healthy ingredient, becomes a Vitamin-rich snack.
