Healthy Eating for Kids written by Trevor Dumbleton
Description
Unique and creative recipes that kids will enjoy eating, even though they’re healthy recipes.
These recipes have fun names to appeal to your child’s imagination – let your kids tuck into an Edible Forest, devour a Happy Face Snack or dream of turning green when they drink a Hulk Snack.
Healthy Eating for Kids was written with the busy family in mind. Most recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less, which is less time than you might spend waiting in line for a hamburger and fries.
The recipes in “Healthy Eating” also come in kid-sized portions. If your child is a picky eater and refuses to eat the dinner that you are preparing for the rest of the family, you will be able to whip up a healthy alternative in minutes. On the other hand, if you would like to make a “Healthy Eating” recipe for the whole family, it is simple to do, since it is far easier to multiply the recipe than it is to sort out the portions for just one person.
60 fun and healthy recipes in six different categories, including:
- Snacks
- Drinks
- Lunch at Home
- Packed Lunches for School
- Evening Meals at Home
- Desserts
Each recipe is designed to include the vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients that your child needs to stay healthy, strong, focused, and energetic. We’ve put an emphasis on ideas that:
- Are healthy
- Contain nutrients that are difficult to add to a child’s diet
- Fast and easy for parents to make
- Use ingredients that most households have on hand
- Encourage your child to get involved with his or her own nutrition
My Thoughts
I believe that good nutrition is something that children must be taught by “modeling”. Parents should take it upon themselves – even with the craziness of work, friends and family – to set aside time to eat healthy. Eating healthier, acting healthier and raising the bar for ourselves is KEY to helping our children understand why nutrition is so incredibly important.
With the statistics for child obesity, child diabetes, and related illnesses rising year by year, this is definitely the time to make nutrition a priority. Luckily, studies have also shown that children who learn good nutrition habits tend to keep these good habits throughout adulthood. Which is why I would highly suggest reading a book like this one.
Compiled with over 60 recipes, this book provides ideas that your entire family will enjoy making together – snacks, drinks, lunch/dinner and more! I would have liked to see some pictures (other than the basic illustrations) for some of the recipes though – that is definitely something that I felt was missing from this eBook.
Teaching your children healthy habits when they are young is one of the best things that you can do to give them the tools they need for a long and healthy life. Making good eating fun will ensure that those habits become second nature. I would recommend this book to families of all generations, and to educators as well!
