At Tall Trees we strive to provide the children with the most nutritious and well-balanced meals possible. When looking at the overall balance of our lunchtime meals, we plan for children to get most of their nutrients from the savoury main course. Puddings tend to be based around milk-based desserts, as we want children to be 'filling up' on their main savoury meal. Milk puddings provide a great nutritious end to a meal without overloading the children with too much bulk after their main course.
It is important to use full-fat milk, as this is most suitable for young children's energy needs. It is also useful to remember that full-fat milk only contains 4 per cent fat, which is still considered a low-fat food.
