NUTRITION TIPS FOR KIDS

The ideal breakfast features plenty of good carbs (fruit, whole grain toast or cereal ) as well as high quality protein.
Breakfast on a weekday neenn't be time consuming. boil some eggs at the beginning of the week and offer them to your kids each morning alng with a low-sugar, high-protein cereal and whole milk and an apple to go.
An egg sandwich, a pot of greek yogurt or cottage cheese, or peanut butter on whole grain toast can be eaten in the car on the way to school.
you can make breakfast burritos filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, chicken, or beef on a sunday and freeze them for your kids to eat during the week.
Feed your kids plenty of fruits and vegetables, whether they are organic or conventionally grown- the benefits far outweigh any potential risks.
When possible, go organic for fruits and vegetables that you don't peel before eating such as berries, lettuce, and tomatoes, or apples and choose cheaper, conventional produce for thick-skinned fruits and veggies such as oranges, bananas, avocados, or pineapples.
Explore local farmer's markets for less expensive organic produce.
It's important to wash all fruits and vegetables, but try scrubbing cnventionally grown produce vigorously with a brush under running water. No amount of washing will remove pesticides taken up by the roots and stems, but you can atleast remove any pesticides residue.
when buying meat, choose organic, grass-fed whenever possible. Pesticides in animal feed tend to accumulate in the fatty tissue of the animal do trim the fat from non-organic meat before cooking, OR choosecheaper cuts of organic meat instead of prime cuts from industrial raised animals.
Don't ban sweets entirely. Having a no sweets rule is an invitation for cravings and overindulging when give the chance.
Give recipies a makeover. Many recipes taste just as good with less sugar/
Avoid sugary drinks. Instead of it try adding a splash of fruit juice to sparkling water or blending whole milk with a banana or berries for a delicious smoothie.
Cut down on processed foods, such as white bread and cakes, which cause blood sugar t go up and down, and can leave kids tired and sapped of energy.
Create your own popsicles and frozen treats. Freeze 100% fruit juice in an ice-cube tray with plastic spoons as popsicle handles. Or try freezing grapes, berries, banana pieces, or peach slices, then toping with a little chocolate sauce or whipped cream for an amazing treat.
