Детска градина ''Здравец''

As part of our “Healthy, Happy, and Capable Children” challenge, families showed that healthy eating can be beneficial, delicious, and fun all at once. The children and their parents were tasked with preparing a favorite healthy recipe together, sharing the main ingredients and the secret to its great taste. Through cooking together, the children developed practical skills, independence, and an interest in healthy foods.

We received many interesting suggestions, one of which was a recipe for refreshing cherry lemonade, prepared by Konstantina Shopova from Group III with the help of her sister Nikol. The drink is made with natural ingredients—cherries, lemon juice, water, and mint—which make it delicious and perfect for summer days. The child shares that her “superpower” comes from the delicious food that gives her the energy to play, and that the secret to the flavor lies in the produce from her family’s garden. This recipe is a wonderful example of how, through time spent together at home, children develop healthy habits and a positive attitude toward food. We thank all the families who participated and turned our shared idea into a real book full of inspiring and useful recipes.

By using seasonal ingredients and carefully planning the necessary quantities, we encourage children to appreciate food and reduce food waste—an important goal of the Waste Not Want Not project.
