Healthy Food Recipes For Growing Kids

Today's kids run far away from eating, especially when they get a little smarter and start going to school, running out of ideas about what to pack in their little lunch box. Sandwiches are always a great choice, but no one wants to eat the same thing every day. Here are tips to add a little more nutrition to your child's food. Color their lunch with a variety of tastes and textures and you won't have to worry about not finishing their lunch!

Try to stick to these 4 healthy lunch box recipes for school children:

Stick Food

Children love any type of food they can eat with a stick (and even better if dipped in their favorite sauce) - hotdogs, sausages, chicken satays, meat skewers, etc. Prepare the meat in the shape of a lunchbox and use flat, blunt-edged bamboo sticks to make it especially safe for young children.

Pack this delicious meal with your child's favorite dip, a serving of rice, some chopped cucumbers, and sliced ripe mangoes. Curd-covered pretzels would also be a great addition!

Cheese Quesadillas

Kids just love cheese, whether they are in pizza, sandwiches or tortillas! Instead of packing grilled cheese, take it up a notch and prepare a delicious cheese quesadilla. Use wheat tortilla as a healthy alternative. These quesadillas do not need to be hot to be tasty.

Pack them with some wheat tortilla chips, avocado slices, jicca sticks and pineapple chunks!

Rolled Food

Think of fresh spring rolls! To make these delicious rolls you can use rice paper wrappers or large lettuce leaves that are fun to eat. You can ask your little one what she wants inside - chicken, shrimp, tofu, and some chopped veggies are great choices.

Pack these delicious rolls with cubed cheese, sliced bell peppers, fresh berries, and a square or two of chocolate!

Quinoa Salad

Something fresh and new - all you have to do is mix plain quinoa cooked with your little favorite cheeses, meats, and veggies. You can take it with a dressing of your choice or go with a classic vinaigrette. Makes light but kids will like the food.

Pack a quinoa salad with some pear slices, mozzarella, tomato slices with popcorn, and a small square of brownies.

Children will feel more at lunchtime when their food is both tasty and tempting. Add colors more - the more colorful, the better! Try this healthy lunch box recipe for school children!
