A few words from Ben about this healthy banana pots recipe
To make this yummy healthy banana pots pudding last longer I cut my banana into lots of small pieces and use a teaspoon to eat it. Sometimes I make extra for myself because I know the yoghurt is healthy!
I love how this is a really quick recipe, it says in the book it takes five minutes but with practice, it takes even less!

Tips for fussy eaters
Hiding vegetables can be a great tactic but does not really overcome the underlying issues. Using my tips to make vegetables fun for kids you can work on this.
These banana pots are easy to make and try with your kids to encourage them to eat more fruit.
Add a small amount of the new food calmly on their plate with favourite foods and encourage them to just try that little bit.

For main meals cook the foods differently to see if they like roasted carrots for example but not boiled carrots.
Get them to help you to cook so they feel involved and are more inclined to eat it. These meatballs are a great suggestion.
Try making things like these Banana pots together. They are healthy but fun and you could always sprinkle some flakes of chocolate or hundreds and thousands on top for a treat?

Adaptions to Sweet banana pots
If you fancy adding a bit of something different to this recipe you can sprinkle a few hundred’s and thousands on top or add some chocolate sauce.
