Here’s how I can help your family…
As featured on television …
Poor nutrition standards in toddler foods.
Nutrient boosting your child’s day!
How to choose a healthy cereal.
Do you answer YES to any of these?
I try SO hard……I’m doing everything I can and they still wont eat the healthy food I want them to eat.
“We argue every dinner time, it’s just a battle
My child just won’t try new foods, I wish they would eat more vegetables
I’m worried that they aren’t getting the nutrients they need to thrive
I feel like I’ve FAILED them as a mum
If you've answered yes... let's meet!
I get you, as I answered yes for too many years too!
The good news is, I have now created an approach that helps mums worldwide to overcome their food stress and worry when feeding their children.
An approach that gives mums the tools to confidently get their children more nutritious foods - without the arguments or bribes.
My own journey with feeding my kids, mixed with my love for helping fellow mums, drives me daily to empower and motivate mums who currently feel frustrated and ready to give up.

Some of my favourite kids food reviews
Are they worth 4 stars? The short answer- no!
Are they ok in the lunchbox sometimes - yes!
My thoughts:
✅ Low in salt
✅ Moderate fibre
✅ iron and nutrient fortified
❌ Almost 20% sugar
❌ Way too many ingredients including additives
❌ Highly processed
❌ High GI (fast release sugar)
The summary- a sometimes food that doesn’t offer your kids much nutrition aside from a bit of iron and fast sugar!
Are they any good for a “cheat night” dinner?
✅ 91% potato
✅ Less than 5 % Fat
✅ Low in saturated fat
✅ Less than 0.1g trans fat (bad fat)
✅ Lowish in salt - 251mg per 100g
✅ Some dietary fibre (2.1g per serve)
✅ They use paprika, onion and garlic powder and black pepper for natural flavour
✅ Low in sugar
✅ Made in Australia
❌ Not gluten free
🥔 I can’t find many faults in these aside from the canola oil, which some prefer not to use.
🥔 These are a good option for that quick easy “cheat” meal.
🥔 The natural flavourings mean they taste good without needing to add more salt into them.
Top them with peanut butter and banana for a yummy breakfast or snack option.
Some people view them as unhealthy, so are they?
✅ Low in added sugar
✅ Good source of carbohydrate
✅ Reasonable source of protein
✅ Some fibre (more in the wholemeal option)
✅ Uses Iodised salt
✅ Made in Australia
❌ Does contain preservatives 282 and 234
❌ Is higher in salt (sodium) compared to bread (700mg vs 400mg per 100g)
On the whole I think these are still ok to pop in the trolley from time to time….as long as they are part of a balanced intake and aren’t eaten 3 meals a day!

“Karina has a fabulous way of making me feel like I’m doing a good job, which I love”
”Highly recommend Karina. She gives excellent advice on how to get nutrients into extremely picky eaters - and great recipes to help with that. She also has a great meal plan which I've found much better than any other meal plan from picky-eater professionals. It is easy and achievable and caters to most tastes. The food reviews on her Instagram account are great - they are honest about the limitations we face as busy mums and she doesn't make me feel bad about the "quick" options I sometimes give to my kids! Karina has a really fabulous way of making me feel like I'm doing a good job, which I love. And, she is just a really lovely person and easy to chat to, which helps if you have a private session with her!” Jessica Collins, online consultation
“I’m forever grateful, I was overwhelmed and stressed and now I’m totally smashing it!”
”It's not often that you find a health practitioner who understands your needs so completely and resolves all your concerns with ease. Karina has helped me to become a confident new mum and for that I'm forever grateful. Introducing solids to my six-month-old son was very overwhelming and stressful, but now I'm totally smashing it! I highly recommend Karina to any mum ( or dad, new and experienced) who wants to introduce solids better with gut health in mind” Nasia Christie, online consultation
