Healthy Foods That Your Kids Will Love
Is getting your kids to eat healthy foods is a battle in your
home? If so, you'll love these tips that will make your kids
happy and give you the satisfaction of knowing you are feeding
them foods that are good for them.
Start the Day Right
You can give your kids a delicious, healthy breakfast by getting
rid of the ready to eat cereals and pastries and replacing them
with bran pancakes and low-sugar syrup and/or fruit. Whole-wheat
tortillas filled with fruit, scrambled eggs, or cheese and
turkey bacon are delicious and your kids will have fun eating
them, paying no attention to the fact that it is actually good
for them.
Naturally Sweet
Most kids will ask for sweets such as candy and snack cakes.
Instead of giving in to the pressure, give your kids applesauce
and homemade oatmeal cookies prepared with a sugar substitute or
honey rather than white sugar. Fruit snacks and dried fruit roll
ups made from 100 percent fruit are great ideas for kids.
Replace fruit drinks and sodas with flavored tonic water and
fresh fruit juice. Drink boxes containing pure fruit juice are
relatively inexpensive and kids love the individual boxes,
complete with straws.
Make it Fun
The secret is in the presentation. Arrange an assortment of
healthy foods in a fun way on your child's plate. You can
include smiley faces made from raisins or nuts and choose foods
that are colorful. Kids will eat most things if they are
presented in a unique design that makes eating fun.
Healthy Dinner
Dinnertime can include homemade pizza topped with cheese and
vegetables, or soft tacos made with shredded chicken and cheese.
Chicken strips prepared in the oven are always a hit and you
could include an assortment of fresh vegetables and whole-grain
breads. Fish sticks are relatively healthy if you prepare them
in the oven rather than fried. Cheese and legumes are healthy
choices.
It's not difficult to get kids to eat healthy foods. It just
takes a little extra thought and planning. Start by using our
tips and you may be surprised to see what your child will eat.
