Nutritious ready meals for toddlers

In spite of our best efforts and intentions, dear mums, we don’t always have a healthy home-cooked meal on tap for our toddlers. Perhaps we have run out of frozen meal portions or just haven’t had time to make more… either way; it’s never a bad idea to have some ready meal options available for those moments.

Of course, the ready meals we use should meet the standards of our home-cooking (as far as possible). There are a couple of great nutritious ready meals for toddlers brands on shop shelves – Little Dish is one of them.

Little Dish only uses 100% natural ingredients and never adds salt or sugar. The chicken and beef is free from antibiotics and growth hormones and comes from select British farms where the animals are well cared for, and all of the vegetables are tested for pesticides.

Every recipe is created in partnership with a nutritionist, and each Little Dish is taste tested by a team of tiny tasters before let out of the kitchen.

These nutritious ready meals for toddlers dishes include: Pasta with Cheese, Peas and Broccoli Trees, Mild Chicken Korma, Pasta Bolognese, Cottage Pie, Fish Pie, Chicken & Butternut Squash Pie, Vegetable Lasagne, Salmon & Broccoli Pasta Bake, Chicken Risotto, Beef & Spinach Cannelloni, Monty’s Favourite Spaghetti & Meatballs, Beef Lasagne, and Chicken & Two Veg Pasta.

Little Dish has a great website, which lists all the ingredients for each of the ready meals as well as recipes tips and Q&A with the brand’s nutritionist. There is even a Little Dish Favourites Cook Book that may be worth investing in if you’re cheffing up a storm for your kiddies.

You can find Little Dish in Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and on Ocado.com. Visit the site at Littledish.co.uk.
