It’s not a secret that kids love the taste of cupcakes, chips, and other food that aren’t nutritious. They love pizza, pasta, cookies, and the like. So, as much as possible, avoid feeding kids with this type of food and switch them to superfoods.
And yes, don’t worry, these are also the food that they might actually eat and love, later on. Here’s the list for your next grocery.
Eggs
It’s a super protein food that contains vitamin D which helps the your child absorbs calcium. So, it’s best to serve eggs for breakfast as it keeps kids full longer.
Milk
Instead of serving juice or other sweet drinks, choose to give them milk. It’s a great way to fuel your kid’s brain and body.
Cocoa
Add a little bit more sweet with cocoa. You can sprinkle it on top of pancakes or waffles. Look for a cocoa that’s not processed with alkali and uses at least 70% of pure cocoa.
Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
Yogurt is a great source of healthy bacteria which helps children, and even adults, with their digestion. Add flavor by adding honey or maple syrup.
Fruits
Blueberries or watermelon to quench thirst. These are also great antioxidants which protects the heart and improves brain function. Serve it for breakfast or, instead of a cookie, serve fruits as dessert.
Nuts
Nuts and even peanut butter is one of the staple superfoods that kids will enjoy. It has protein, healthy fats, and B vitamins which you can whip in a sandwich or add as flavor to a smoothy.
Tofu
It’s a great source for lean protein and is even said to be anti-cancer. It’s best for kids, especially young girls to help them protect their tissues, especially breast tissues.
Oatmeal
Use oats instead of colored cereal for breakfast. Give your kids long-lasting energy, plus the iron, protein, and fiber they need to get them energized.
Cinnamon
