Winter has arrived Choklits Families and with the new season comes, as always, a new menu!! A vital part of this mission is ensuring the children in our care receive nutritious, balanced, and delicious meals. Therefore, we are delighted to present our Winter Menu for 2024, which retains all the wonderful aspects of last year’s offerings, with some exciting enhancements!
First and foremost, our menu has been thoughtfully designed by our dedicated chefs in collaboration with key members of our leadership team. This year, we continue to uphold the high standards set previously, with our menu once again being approved by Nutrition Australia. This prestigious accreditation underscores our commitment to your child’s health and well-being, adhering to the highest nutritional standards.
For parents, this approval provides peace of mind knowing your child’s dietary needs are met with care and precision. Each meal is crafted to be enjoyable, balanced, varied, and suitable for your child’s age, cultural background, and specific dietary requirements. We offer dairy and gluten-free options and are committed to reducing added sugar in our recipes, ensuring our menu caters to every child’s dietary needs.
The benefits of a nutritious diet for children are immeasurable. A healthy diet promotes optimal growth and development, supports immune function, and lays the foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits.
For instance, on Monday of Week 2, we will serve a lunch of Sri Lankan Chicken Curry with Rice. This meal is rich in protein from the chicken, essential for growth and development, while the rice provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. It’s a balanced meal that introduces children to diverse flavours.
In the afternoons, we offer Wholegrain Rice Cakes with Cheese and Sultanas as a nutrient-dense snack. Whole grains are an excellent source of fibre, supporting digestive health, while the cheese provides calcium for strong bones. The sultanas add natural sweetness and essential vitamins and minerals.
Another highlight is the Choklits Superfood Bowl, available for lunch on Monday of Week 4. Featuring a base of quinoa, chickpea, and rice, this nutrient-packed meal offers high fiber and protein. Accompanied by grilled chicken strips, it provides lean protein and vital vitamins like B12.
With every meal and snack, we are not just feeding your children; we are nourishing them, introducing them to the world of food, and fostering a healthy relationship with eating. We believe a well-fed child is a happy, engaged, and successful learner!
If you have any questions about our new menu, please visit our Facebook and Instagram pages or come see us at the centre.
On behalf of the Choklits Chefs, Lai, Saliya & Tayani we are excited to share the Choklits Winter Menu 2024 with you.
We look forward to our little learners’ feedback on the delightful new flavours arriving at Choklits from next week!
