Kids Alive has teamed up with Australian dietitians Amanda Smyth and Holly Hoskins from Mood Food Nutrition to share their brand-new family cookbook that celebrates healthy eating and active living by focusing on nurturing children’s gut, brain, and mental health.
The Mood Food Cookbook
The Mood Food Cookbook brings together easy, family-friendly recipes made from fresh, whole foods. But it’s about more than just good food it’s about fuelling active kids who love to swim, play, and explore.
Swimming and healthy eating go hand in hand,” says Kids Alive founder Laurie Lawrence. “When kids eat well, they have more energy, better focus, and stronger bodies—helping them thrive in the pool and in life.”
“Mood Food was created after seeing firsthand how food can impact our children’s mood and mental health,” says co-creator Amanda Smyth. “The right nutrition helps kids feel calm, focused, and happy and that’s something every family can benefit from.”
Kids Alive's Commitment
The partnership reflects Kids Alive’s commitment to helping families raise strong, healthy, and safe kids whether that’s through learning to swim or enjoying nutritious meals together.
