Healthy Recipes For Kids
One of the
things that parents spend a lot of time thinking about is creating and preparing
healthy recipes for their kids. While it can sometimes be difficult to always
prepare healthy recipes, especially when you have little time or in a rush after
work, there are many healthy recipes that you can create very easily, here are
just a few.
Applesauce
Many kids love applesauce and apple sauce is surprisingly easy to make and very
delicious. All you need are 2 red apples, two teaspoons of sugar (brown sugar is
fine), a couple of tablespoons of lemon and some cinnamon. Creating applesauce
is easy, just put your two red apples in a food processor, throwing out the core
first. Process the apples and once they become chopped up into small pieces put
them in a bowl; add your sugar, lemon juice and finally a few pinches of
cinnamon. Voila, you have fresh and all natural apple sauce.
Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
Here is a recipe that almost everyone will enjoy. Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are
extremely easy to make and you can create numerous types of parfaits just by
choosing different types of fruits. For this recipe you can start with about 8
ounces of yogurt, some chopped up strawberries and some fresh granola. Just mix
the yogurt and strawberries together and add the granola to the top. You can
easily improvise with this recipe, mixing in any type of fruits you like. In
addition to adding granola, you can choose to add your favorite cereal, nuts, a
few drops of chocolate or a gummy bear or two. This recipe takes only a second
to make and will put a smile on all your children’s faces.
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are delicious, fun to eat and easy to make. They are also very
nutritious. You just need potatoes, some fresh milk and a little butter. One of
the ways to dress up your mashed potatoes for kids is to add a little food
coloring, especially for the holidays. For instance, many people during St.
Patrick’s Day make green mashed potatoes, for Halloween, you can add orange food
coloring, etc. While you can easily dress up mashed potatoes, this is one food
that your kids will love because it tastes great. It is important to note that
while you can buy mashed potato flakes, it is always better to use fresh
potatoes.
Cinnamon French Toast
Are you looking for a healthy breakfast treat, French toast is it. You can make
French Toast very easily, just take white bread, or almost any kind of bread and
place it into a mixture of fresh milk and eggs that have been beaten. Now cook
it in a frying pan which either a drop of butter or cooking spray and voila, you
have French Toast. Instead of using high sugar syrups or fatty butter, choose
instead to sprinkle delicious cinnamon. Many parents choose fresh fruits as
well, such as strawberries and blueberries to top off their creation.
