With years of experience and talking to our patients, we have found that before coming to The Slimming Clinic, so many mums found it hard to stay on track with their diets as they often pick at their children’s food or to save making different meals just have the same kids food they make their children. Well we understand how hectic everyday life can be with children so have found recipes that both you and your children will enjoy, that your bodies will thank you for AND that do not need different ingredients for and that is thanks to Annabel Karmel. Annabel provides recipes which are healthy for Mothers and their children. These recipes are also a fabulous chance to get your children to experiment with healthy and more adventurous foods but in a fun and non-intimidating recipe.
