Sometimes I wonder if cooking is worth the time. Especially when I work really hard to search for new healthy recipes, find and buy all the ingredients, and spend a lot of time in the kitchen-and then my kids don’t like the food! It can be very frustrating. I was thinking about this and decided to ask my healthy blogger friends for their favorite clean eating recipes for kids.
I wanted tried and true recipes that kids would really like, and I wanted them to be made from healthy real foods. These recipes don’t contain damaging chemicals or trans fats. (And, if you buy high quality proteins, fats, and vegetables, you will be giving your kids optimal nutrition!)
Clean Eating Recipes for Kids
Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
Beefy Cheesy Pasta–Tinkyada’s Brown Rice Pasta can be used for this recipe-these noodles are gluten free and yummy!
Easy Meatball Recipe-I love all the variations that are included in this recipe! There is even a framework recipe for switch it up cooks (those who like to customize recipes).
Not Mac and Cheese-This is made from cauliflower!
Baked Broccoli Tater Tots-I love this idea for kids, and think it would have been perfect for when I had a picky toddler!
Baked Mac and Cheese-You could use Einkorn pasta for this recipe. (Einkorn wheat is a pure and ancient form of wheat and has less gluten and is more digestible than modern wheat products.)
Pressure Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
No Churn Healthy Strawberry Ice Cream-This looks so good and is naturally sweetened with bananas!
I hope you find some new favorite recipes in this list (and convince your kids that healthy foods can taste great!). You may also want to check out these Real Food Desserts and Snacks for Kids and Picky Eaters.
