If you’re a parent, your kids are likely the most important things in your life. Which is perfectly natural. Feeding your kids healthy food that they’ll actually want to eat is important. But not always as easy as it should be.
Almost every kid in the country is a fussy eater. Kinds of all ages seem to prefer sweet foods to things like healthy vegetables.
So, what do you need to do to get your kids to enjoy eating food that’s healthy for them? All the time making sure that you’ve got enough hours in the day to be able to perform your parental duties.
You need to make sure your offer your kids variety in their food. Otherwise you run the risk that they’ll either get bored. Or, worse still, that they’ll only eat a handful of well-tried recipes.
After all, it’s not your fault that you haven’t got more hours in the day! But hey – if you are finding that not enough hours is the problem, then maybe an answer is the use of a rival crock pot A rival crock pot or slow cooker can help in two ways. first you can use it to have the kids help you prepare the meal by putting the ingredients in thereby making them feel more involved in the process. Second, the use of a rival crock allows you to let the meal slowly cook over the span of a few hours without supervision, allowing you the time to get other things done in your day. Another way to maybe get your kids interested and more willing to eat healthy by participating, is to have them help with a meal at breakfast time. Having your children help with something like whole wheat pancakes with berries mixed into the batter is a way to get the kids interested and eating a healthier version of a kids favourite breakfast standard.
The internet has made the search for new healthy eating recipes easier. Ideally, you’re looking for real-life recipes that have been tried and tested on the age group you’re dealing with.
Sometimes your kids will flat out refuse to eat their greens. If that’s the case, hunt down a batch of recipes that will help get these ingredients past even the fussiest eater. It’s easy to throw vegetables into your blender to cut them up real small. That way, even a fussy kid won’t be able to pick out the bits they don’t like. Another way is to use different textures and mixes of food. If your kids turn their noses up at cabbage and sprouts, think about using some kind of sauce to mask the flavor. The sauce can still be healthy – it’s only restaurants that have to make almost every sauce using cream.
Another option is to call the food by some “revolting” name like “Hulk Juice”. Kids like weird and wonderful things and may well eat something if it has a name that an adult would turn their nose up at. It’s definitely worth a try!
