Everyone knows how important foods like fruit, vegetables and nuts are for our children's physical health, but you may be surprised to learn that they can also boost their mental health as well.

Whole foods like fruit and veggies give us the energy to get through the day both physically and mentally.

With that in mind, here are four foods that are great for boosting your child's mood!



Bananas



Bananas

Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 which boosts your brainpower! They are also high in serotonin - also known as the happy chemical!

Eating bananas help calm your child's mind and cope with stress. The best part about bananas is that they come in their own wrapper - no prep needed!



Avocado



Avocados 

Avocados contain vitamins that help keep kids' brains healthy, fibre to leave them fuller for longer and are a great source of healthy fats.

And just like bananas, they too come in their own wrapper! Slice one in half, remove the seed and your kids can dig straight in.
