Healthy Kids Meals

Tips for Mommy and Daddy

As you consider a few nutritionally balanced meals for your child, remember to keep all of the food groups in mind.

•Whole grain cereal is one of the healthy breakfast meals to start with, especially with a few apple slices and milk.

•For lunch, choose finger foods like cut up cheese slices in fun shapes, with lunchmeat, crackers and fruit juice. Add on carrot sticks for dipping into their favorite condiment.

•For dinner, try chicken, which many children enjoy, coupled with applesauce, whole grain pasta and tomato sauce.

The key here is to look for foods they like that are also healthy. It will be a bonus to make sure that the meal is easy to be prepared as well.

We all want our kids to be healthy, but we also want to keep them happy. Knowing what is important for nutrition is a good start. Always experiment to find ways to encourage good eating habits in the family.

This will definitely encourage even the pickiest of eaters to give new foods a try.
