Healthy and Tasty Snacks for Kids
Feeding your little one doesn’t have to be only sugary drinks and dino nuggets. Preparing healthy and fun foods can be challenging for parents. Because of it, today we list you some options for healthy and tasty snacks for kids, and parents too!
Starting with fruits is the easiest way. They are sugary, due to fructose, but in a low quantity, so they will enjoy them very much. You can give them apples, pears, all kinds of berries, melons, and even avocados! All cubed or thinly sliced, of course. If you want to give them bananas or pineapple, do it in small portions, because they are more sugary (higher glycemic).
But, what if my baby doesn’t want just fruit? Mixing it with some plain yogurt (a Greek yogurt is a great option) or nut butter can work too. Even better, you can make smoothie bowls with them!
When it comes to eating vegetables things might get trickier. A good way to sort it is by giving them some sauce to dip the fresh vegetables in. Such as hummus, tahini, nut butter, or pesto. This gives them a lot of flavors and they enjoy the crunchiness of the freshness.
Nonetheless, you can negotiate. If your kid has trouble when eating new things, give them a small part of some food you know they like and they will eat. This way they won’t be completely full and they will have to try the unfamiliar food that is on the plate.
Finally, if you want some ideas for snack recipes, here we give you some ideas for healthy and tasty snacks for kids.
