Buy seasonal vegetables and fruits to gain maximum benefits from them. Peas are in season and they are very healthy for your kids. Amritsari Gobi Matar have the goodness of peas and cauliflower and nuts are made into a paste and added to the gravy to add more nutrition.
Most kids love pasta, pack Fusilli Pasta Recipe In A Spicy Roasted Beetroot Sauce with the goodness of beetroots. Vegetable purees help you feed your kids vegetables in a hidden form, that they do not usually enjoy eating.
Parathas are easy to eat and most kids gobble up a paratha without giving much thought to the stuffing. But we definitely end up giving lots of thought to a stuffing that goes into a partha. Add radish with its greens not only increases the nutritional value of the parathas but also adds fiber to your kids diet.
Packing healthy sides in a lunch box and giving healthy snacks are also very important. Bake or make snacks ahead so you can quickly add them to your kids lunch boxes.
