“Nutrameg’s mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle by developing personalized digital tools to encourage a healthy diet and sporting lifestyle. In my opinion, it is essential from the earliest childhood to show kids how to make healthy choices, which is why we came up with the idea of producing a book of healthy snack recipes. We have used the basic insights derived by the company’s specialists using a special algorithm to analyze the nutritional and sporting habits of hundreds of millions of people to produce this new cookbook”, explains Nutrameg founder Kristofs Blaus.

The book’s co-authors are Children’s Hospital dietary specialist Lizete Puga, Nutrameg certified dietary specialist Elina Balode, and Nutrameg dietary specialist and athlete Anna Paula Auzina. The first ones to try out the recipes included in the book were the Children’s Hospital’s little patients, who took part in a special masterclass conducted by the book’s authors. During the event, kids could experiment by making snacks and discovering new flavours.

The company has also donated EUR 10 000 to upgrade technical equipment in the Children’s Hospital kitchen so that little patients can make delicious and healthy snacks on their own or with their parents using the recipes collected in the new book.

Correct and balanced nutrition is vital to keep kids healthy and ensure that they develop in the right way. This is particularly important for children with various health problems. “In the hospital, little patients face a lot of challenges. Therefore in order for them to recover, it is not just medicines and treatment, but also positive emotions and happiness that are very important,” explains the Head of the Children’s Hospital Foundation Liene Dambiņa.
