Recipes to enjoy with EleCare®

Once your child has been settled on EleCare®, your doctor or dietitian may allow certain foods to be introduced into your child’s diet. You might like to try these recipes that were developed by accredited practising dietitians. Remember, as each child’s allergies may vary, it is essential that you consult your doctor and/or dietitian as to the appropriate management of your child’s allergies and the use of these recipes.

As nutrients can be lost when heating, cooking or freezing, it is best to add EleCare® just before serving.
