We all know that it is tricky to get your toddler or child to eat healthy snacks when there are so many "other" options available to them. When your child is presented with the option of eating a healthy snack verses chicken nuggets, M&M's or fruit "snacks" - really these are just candies in the shape of fruits, which do you think they are going to choose?
Don't get me wrong now, all of these are absolutely fine and I definitely feed my child these more than rarely, but it is important for our kids to learn the pattern of eating healthy. With this in mind, I have been working on my a few easy to make kids recipes that are actually tasty -- after all, we do have to get our child to eat what we make.
Here is a great snack from my "easy to make kids recipes" list.
Peanut Butter Yogurt Fruit Dip
This easy to make kids recipe is one that your kids can even help you prepare.
I like to use one 6 oz container of non-fat Greek Vanilla yogurt and then I mix in 2 Tbsp of peanut butter with 1/2 Tbsp of honey and then I finish it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon -- That's it!
You can offer this dip with sliced apples, pears, bananas or whatever else you think your child would like.
Yogurt dips are a must on any parent's easy to make kids recipes list. These are a great way to add extra fruit into your child's diet. Another great benefit is that they are easy to pack for school lunches or to take to the park for a picnic.
I hope you enjoy these easy to make kids recipes as much as my family has!
