Kid-Friendly ALDI Meal Plan

Creating a kid-friendly meal plan with ingredients from ALDI can be both easy and affordable. This week’s menu is packed with nutritious and delicious options that even the fussiest eaters will enjoy.

Monday: Start the week with a classic – spaghetti bolognese. Use ALDI’s lean minced beef, tinned tomatoes, and your choice of pasta. Serve with a side of garlic bread and a simple salad for a balanced meal.

Tuesday: For a fun twist, try making homemade pizzas. Use ALDI’s pizza bases and let the kids top them with tomato sauce, cheese, and their favourite toppings, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Wednesday: Midweek, whip up a batch of chicken stir-fry using ALDI’s stir-fry vegetables and diced chicken breast. Serve with rice for a quick and colourful dinner.

Thursday: Prepare a comforting shepherd's pie using leftover bolognese or cooked chicken, topped with creamy mashed potatoes. It’s a great way to utilise leftovers and is sure to please the whole family.

Friday: End the week with fish fingers, peas, and chips. ALDI’s own-brand fish fingers make for an easy and tasty meal, while frozen peas offer a nutritious side.

Snack Ideas: Throughout the week, keep snacks simple with fruit, yogurt, or ALDI’s range of wholegrain crackers. A homemade fruit smoothie can also be a fun way to include some extra vitamins into your child’s diet.

This meal plan not only saves money but also provides a variety of flavours and textures, making dinner time enjoyable for children and parents alike!
