The way we eat has been a recurring theme of the lockdown but help may be at hand with the publication of the FAI’s 2020 Healthy Eating Guide in partnership with SPAR.
The online resource includes easy-to-follow recipes for wholesome breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks at home.
Three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, three healthy recipes that are fun to make and healthy to eat will be chosen by members of the Ireland senior squad and be made available to download from the FAI’s website.
The recipes have been carefully crafted to ensure a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals are present in each meal and snack and will help keep people satisfied over the coming weeks and months.
20 players from the Republic of Ireland Men’s and Women’s Senior Teams are involved in the 2020 Healthy Eating Guide, including SPAR FAI Primary School 5s Ambassadors Amber Barrett and Jack Byrne (pictured above).
“The SPAR Healthy Eating Guide is a brilliant opportunity for children and their families to try some healthy and tasty recipes during this current lockdown period,” said FAI Interim Deputy CEO Niall Quinn.
“I’m delighted that our senior men’s and women’s internationals are part of this programme. A healthy diet is key to a healthy lifestyle. It’s fantastic to join forces with our Primary 5s partners SPAR to give those around Ireland the opportunity to try some new and tasty recipes.”
“We are delighted to be partnering with the FAI in reprising this fabulous initiative,” added Colin Donnelly, Sales Director with SPAR.
“When we brought the Healthy Eating Guide out for the first time in 2017, it was a terrific success and it is great to be updating it and showing people that they can continue to eat healthily during these truly extraordinary times.”
