- Warming Root Veg Soup
There’s nothing better than a comforting soup made with seasonal vegetables. Using a selection of Willowbrook’s fresh root veg like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes, you can create a wholesome meal in under 30 minutes. Just simmer the veg with stock, blend until smooth, and serve with warm, crusty bread. It’s nutritious, filling, and a great way to introduce kids to a variety of vegetables. - Veg-Packed Cheesy Pasta Bake
A cheesy pasta bake is a family favourite, but why not give it a veggie boost? Take Willowbrook’s prepped veg – such as broccoli, spinach, or courgette. Mix into a creamy cheese sauce, top with breadcrumbs, and bake until golden. It’s a great way to add in extra vegetables, and it’s just as tasty for grown-ups, too! - Stir-Fried Rainbow Veg
Quick, colourful, and full of flavour, a stir-fry is an easy go-to for busy days. Get a packer of Willowbrook’s ready-prepared stir-fry. Then toss a variety of fresh vegetables like peppers, sugar snap peas, and carrots into a wok with noodles or rice. The bright colours and crunchy textures will make this dish appealing to kids, while the simple, healthy ingredients mean it’s a win for parents too. - Mini Veg Frittatas
Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, mini vegetable frittatas are easy to prepare and full of nutritious ingredients. Using Willowbrook’s prepped veg such as mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes, mix with eggs and cheese, pour into muffin tins, and bake. They’re a fun, bite-sized way to get kids eating more veg, and they’re just as tasty cold, making them a great addition to lunchboxes. - DIY Jacket Potatoes
For a fun and interactive meal, set up a jacket potato bar. Bake a batch of potatoes, then lay out a selection of toppings like grated cheese, baked beans, and Willowbrook’s prepped veg such as roasted peppers or sautéed onions. Let the kids customise their own potato, mixing and matching flavours. It’s a great way to encourage them to try new combinations while keeping mealtime simple and healthy.
