Finding healthy meals for your children is not only the easiest task, but it can be done and without having unhappy campers at the dinner table. For meals that your kids will love that are nutritious and healthy, you must understand the foods your kids already enjoy and work from there.
If your child really enjoys carrots, then you know what to make as part of their dinners each week. Mix it up a bit and do not limit yourself to only serving them steamed carrots at dinner time, you can have them eat the carrots raw inside their school lunches and they can also enjoy them as a fresh glass of carrot juice as well.
Buying a blender or juicer may be the key to finding out exactly what healthy foods your kids will be more prone to eat on a regular basis. When you have a juicer you can ask the child which fruits and vegetables they enjoy the taste of and begin creating tons of juices and smoothies all from your kitchen. Encourage the child to help you while creating them and they will love putting the vegetables and fruits inside the blender or juicer machines and making the recipes on their own. There is something much more special about a glass of juice or a smoothie that a little one created themselves versus pouring them a glass from a store bought juice container. They will not only be more excited to drink them, but they will also be learning good habits for life and how to make healthy foods and drinks all on their own instead of relying on the fast food options when they get older.
If the kids enjoy sauces for dipping their foods into then you must have a blender in the home to encourage the healthy eating habits. You can create special sauces for the kids to use for dipping many fruits and vegetables as well. This will help them break up the cycle of constantly eating plain vegetables and fruits and they will become more inclined to eat the natural food choices you are providing for them. Purchase your kids small containers for juices (100% juice, no sugar added) and smoothies to be held in that they cannot spill or break so they can carry them around while they are playing and still be receiving all of those valuable nutrients you want them to have. Come up with many different fun snack ideas that can be found on the internet for free that will continue new healthy eating habits for your kids.
