Healthy Snacks for Kids

By Penny Warner

Book Overview

It's always a question - what to give your kids to eat? You want them to eat healthy food, but you don't want them coming home saying, "I didn't have time at recess", or, "I didn't like the look of my sandwich and anyway I dropped it in the yard ". With this book, you'll always have ideas for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks - even breakfast and dinner treats that will keep your kids healthy, strong and energetic. The recipe titles in this book are almost as yummy as the recipes themselves: Monkey Bars, Wiggle Sicles, Corny Pudding, Tomato Balloons. "New Healthy Snacks for Kids" provides pizzazz to lunch and snack time, and helps calm the chaos of cranky children who need to eat now. Warner has great ideas for smuggling nutrition into old favourites. She suggests using "props" to spice up food and get kids enthusiastic about mealtime. Each recipe includes a graphic representation of the food pyramid that shows which foods are emphasised.

Recipes Galore!

This is a handy sized cookbook with tons of recipes. Definately more than what you would expect for its size. Recipes are of the heathly variety with yogurt, fruits, and granolas as main staples of the recipes. The recipes are easy to follow, and come out well. They also give great ideas on presentation to help with the pickey eaters. If you are into health foods, and making sure your young one gets plenty of the natural foods this is the book you want to pick up.
