All parents are looking forward to empower kids t become healthy eaters. So what are the best foods that can do this job.
Here are the six favorite foods of nutritionists to feed kids every day:
Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant, which helps repair damage, heal wounds, and protect gums. Vitamin C also helps absorb iron and is important for the formation of collagen, which creates a framework for the body.
To help kids consume more, use strawberries as toppings
Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin K, which helps stop cuts from bleeding. Cauliflower is part of the cruciferous vegetable family, which have anti-cancer properties.
To encourage kids to enjoy cauliflower, try the various, beautiful colors of the plant, including white, purple, orange, and green.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a valuable source of beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for immunity, vision, and skin health.
The good news is kids tend to love sweet potatoes because they’re naturally sweet. They are tasty mashed, in soups and stews, baked as chips, and in desserts.
Eggs
Research shows that kids who eat a high-quality breakfast perform better at school. Eggs are a great example of a high-quality complete protein.
Almonds
Almonds contain monounsaturated fat (the healthy kind!). They are a good source of vitamin E, protein, and fiber.
Almonds add crunch to salads, yogurt, and cooked veggies. Almond butter on sliced fruit is healthy and delicious, too.
If your child is allergic to tree nuts, try sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter instead.
Avocados
The monounsaturated fat in avocados has been shown to offer cardiovascular health benefits. Furthermore, it works well as a fat replacement for baking and adds creaminess to dishes.
