Meet Sabina Sekowska

"I am very passionate about having a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating." 

"Healthy eating became important to me when I became pregnant with my two kids. I wanted to give my kids the very best that I could offer them so I became much more aware of preparing healthy meals using natural ingredients."

"When my kids were little, they were very good eaters but now my four year old son Filip is a very fussy eater and refuses to eat almost every meal that’s put in front of him. Filip takes a long time to eat at the dinner table and doesn’t like what I make for him. This happens almost every single day. My daughter on the other hand is a very good eater and loves all kinds of food."

"To get my kids to eat healthy food, I will blend and grate veg into soups and pasta sauces. Because my son loves soup, I will blend a variety of different veg into soup recipes, even ones that Filip doesn’t like. It’s important to make sure that your kids are getting all the vitamins and minerals that they need, but my best advice would be to offer a range of food from a very young age and to not force them to eat something they don’t like."

"Instead of buying shop-bought biscuits, I like to bake sweet treats from scratch. I try not to give my kids a lot of sweets throughout the week, but I think it’s okay for them to enjoy a treat every now and then. And I love sweets – it’s my biggest downfall. So I believe if you’re going to have a treat, it’s better for them to be homemade so at least you know exactly what’s in them."

"I want to use my degree in nutrition by getting more involved in the community’s local toddler groups to help encourage mums to cook healthily and prepare healthy snacks for their kids."
