Did you know that Everyday Foods are really Superhero Foods in disguise? Everyday Foods such as bread, pasta, milk, cheese, fish and tinned beans are packed with nutrition. Each Everyday Food transforms into their Superhero Food alias and gives us super powers like energy to grow a healthy body.
The Superhero Foods live in Healthy Town and battle the Body Monsters Decay, Illness and Obesity who are out to destroy our healthy way of life.
Foodbank WA has created a number of Superhero Food nutrition education resources which have been developed to educate primary school aged children about healthy eating.
Look out for the Superhero Foods which appear throughout this recipe book!
