Sneaky Tips for Healthier Eating

Making healthy choices is an important part of investing in your child’s future. Children with childhood obesity have a greater risk of getting diabetes later in life, so it is truly important for parents to make responsible choices when it comes to preparing meals and packing lunches. The difficult part is not always making the right choices at the grocery store; it can also be difficult if not impossible to convince a young child to eat vegetables. Luckily, boiled broccoli does not have to dominate your menu in order to ensure that your child is eating healthy. There
e are an infinite amount of healthy recipes that kids actually love. Even macaroni and cheese can become a healthy meal when cheese that’s high in protein and calcium is used. The cheese sauce can also mask the fact that the macaroni pasta is made with vegetables! Another great trick for sneaking vegetables into a noncompliant child’s daily intake is to use veggies like zucchini to moisten a chocolate cake. All sorts of vegetables can be baked into cakes, and actually make it more moist and delicious! Cutting up fruit to be eaten with peanut butter, or making smoothies with frozen yogurt are also great ways to be sneaky about being healthy.
