A mum’s creative ‘healthy’ fairy bread, which includes cabbage, carrot and beetroot juice, has shocked fellow Aussies.

Sydney-based culinary teacher and content creator Fatimah Omran shared her healthy fairy bread recipe on social media, and the backlash was swift.

“At a party on the weekend and there’s some things you just have to say no to,” Fatimah captioned the video. “If your children love colourful food, then they are going to adore Healthy Fairy Bread.”

Fatimah then proceeds to make her healthy fairy bread by grating carrots and a purple cabbage and squeezing out the juice.

She also strained the juice from tinned beetroot, before using the colourful juices to colour shredded coconut. Fatimah then buttered slices of bread, sprinkling them with the coloured coconut. Although we are still trying to work out what Fatimah used to colour the green sprinkles!

@fatimahomran At a party on the weekend and there’s some things you just have to say no to…. If your children love colourful food, then they are going to adore Healthy Fairy Bread ???? Would you give this a go? #d#dessert#partyp#partyfoodf#fairybreadhealthy #fyp ♬ original sound – Fatimah Omran

“This is better than any fairy bread at any party,” she says.

While some thought the recipe was satire, others were scathing in the comments.

“Let’s be honest, the most “unhealthy” part of Fairy Bread is the butter and white bread,” commented Katey Ellen.

R1Lexi said, “I would absolutely riot if someone served me this at a party and called it fairy bread.”

While Ash commented, “LOOK, I appreciate your creativity and dedication buuuuuut ya just can’t do that to our beloved fairy bread!”

Fatima’s video has had more than one and a half million views on TikTok, and continues to divide opinions.

  • I think that people just over react. Its only an issue if your kids are eating fairy bread on a dialy basis and seriously who does that? Parties are fun and where you are supposed to be allowed to lash out a little and have some treats. Thats why its called “party food”

  • There’s no way I serve this up to children. Maybe in her own household but certainly not at a party. That’s just tainting the name “fairy bread”.

  • I’m not a fan of fairy bread in general, no matter how it’s made or what it’s made with.

  • I’d more worried about the white stodgy bread

  • I’ll stick to the original fairy bread thanks. Lots of butter and sprinkles for me please.

  • It is a no from me. This would not be any good here as the coconut would be off putting.

  • Unlike a lot of the other comments I’ve read I actually like this idea, my daughter (3yo) always wants fairy bread and I hate always saying no so this would be so good I wonder if I could do a whole batch of the coloured coconut and how long it would stay fresh in a sealed air tight container for!!

  • Doubt this would go down well in my house – but how often do the children go to a party anyway? Let there still be some fun at party time – especially as McDonalds seems to be the go-to for a party these days.

  • There’s a lot of effort gone in there but I wonder how many kids ate it?

  • I don’t think this can be called Fairy Bread. Fairy Bread is an institution, this would need to be called something else.


    • Maybe it can be called vegie rainbow bread……

  • It should be called Vege Bread not Fairy Bread. Maybe she has to cut out sugar so why use white bread?

    Reply

  • It’s a lovely idea but the OG fairy bread is more often than not a in party food anyway so just let them enjoy it and the occasion!

  • Why? It’s not like everyone feeds their children fairy bread in mountains everyday. It’s a sometimes, fun food. For goodness sakes, this is ridiculous. It’s not about the colours as such. It’s the combination of refined white bread, butter (not margarine) and sugar. It looks like she even cut the crusts off.

  • Just no! Firstly, way too much effort. Secondly, it’s supposed to be a fun treat- don’t ruin it!

    Reply

  • Now that looks interesting but No you should never mess with the original Fairy Bread

  • I do admire her willingness to sit there and turn those vegetables into small sprinkle size pieces. I just don’t have time.


    • Excellent point, it would have taken effort.
