Snacking

This is supposedly the hardest of being additive free but actually it is quite manageable. Regular snacks are fruit, plain air-popped popcorn, breadsticks, sandwich, breakfast cereal (eaten without milk) and yoghurt. We also have toast with fruit spread and fruit toast. I make biscuits - like Anzac cookies (with less coconut and more oats) and afghans with extra cornflakes. Occasionally we'll have a Movenpick ice-cream. It's amazing when elder daughter is hungry how she'll ask for weetbix! Ot to make her favourite chocolate chip cookies. - With REAL chocolate. Beware the 'melts' or 'compound' chocolate or 'cooking' chocolate. There is something awesome about a batch of real cookies - and you can skimp on the chocolate as the flavour is so much better than the additive laden brown 'chocolate'.

I heartily recommend Barkers fruit Glory as a fruit spread and if they don't sell it at your local supermarket - then you can have it couriered for $5 in South Island- which with petrol prices as they are is less than a trip to a shop on the other side of town! The blackcurrant one is AMAZING!!!
