As a result of there being so much junk ‘food’ around kids, they can be fussy about eating healthy food.
Consequently, the challenge is to present food in such a way that children enjoy healthy choices. For instance, blending with a power blender to create smoothies, soups, sauces, and pâtés that are silky smooth is just so easy! In short, since most kids hate the lumpy bits that standard blenders produce, a power blender will be the solution.
A nutritious diet can contribute to a child’s mood, focus and concentration, self-esteem, body weight, and most importantly brain development including treatment of ADHD and Autism. Offer your child fruit and vegetables in a form that they will love. (Reducing junk food also helps their pallet adjust to tasty real food).
For example, smoothies can be coloured to appeal, pasta sauces are an ideal place to disguise vegetables that are not readily enjoyed and pâtés are an excellent and healthier alternative to butter or margarine as a base on bread.
Incorporating high-fibre vegetables of all colours is the key to building healthy kids. Inferior childhood nutrition leads to chronic illnesses such as Type II diabetes, obesity, some cancers, and the development of heart disease that begins in childhood. In short, power blending is an excellent way of incorporating more fruit and vegetables into a child’s diet.
Most definitely not!
Above all, encourage the kids to decorate the smoothie bowl while you ensure that the smoothie is tasty, colourful and most of all nutritious, taking care of their health in the most fun way.
