Many kids are picky eaters, but it’s important to make sure they get the nutrients they need to grow up healthy and strong.The best way to encourage your kids to eat healthy is by making it fun! Here are some recipes that are sure to make healthy food exciting:
1. Fruit and Veggie Smoothies
Smoothies are a great way to sneak in some extra veggies and fruits in your child’s diet. You can make it with their favorite fruits and vegetables and they’ll never know they’re eating something good for them. Try blending spinach, banana, apple, and a scoop of protein powder for a deliciously sweet and nutritious smoothie treat.
2. Rainbow Pizza
Instead of buying a pizza, try making a healthy version by adding an array of colorful veggies. You can use bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots and olives as toppings with their favorite cheese for a festive and healthy pizza.
3. Homemade Veggie Nuggets
Kids love finger foods. You can whip up a batch of these homemade veggie nuggets with broccoli, sweet potato, and cheese. They’re crispy, delicious and will fool even the pickiest eaters into having more veggies.
4. Fruit Kabobs
Craving some sweetness? Get creative with fruit kabobs! Thread chunks of watermelon, pineapple, grapes, and berries onto skewers, and let your child make their own fruit kabobs. You can use a yogurt or honey dip to add extra flavor.Eating healthy doesn’t have to be a chore. By getting your kids involved in the preparation of the food and making it fun, you’ll make sure they’re eating right and having a great time doing so.
