Interesting Summer diet tips for your kids
Light meals
Light meals digest easily and can provide ample of energy. So include healthy meals such as rice flakes, corn flakes, cold sandwiches, porridge, salads, dal-rice combo to fill little stomachs yet feeling happy and light. It's best to avoid fried and spicy foods which may cause stomach problems.
Fluids intake
Besides drinking plenty of water, make sure your kids run for different drinks such as homemade fruit juices, fruit-flavored squashes, smoothies, and fruit milkshakes. In addition, buttermilk, lemonade, and flavored glucose should be given from time to time to replenish the lost electrolytes and stay away from DEHYDRATION.
These fluids not only keep the body hydrated but also provide ample nutrients.
Fruit break
Keep the summer fruits such as watermelon, melon, berries, mangoes, bananas, etc., well in reach of kids. Prepare a colorful fruit salad and serve the kids with a dash of lemon juice and rock salt. Cut them into interesting shapes before you serve or squeeze any fruit and add a couple of ice cubes to attract your kid.
Even better, make popsicles out of fresh fruit juice and see the kids asking for more! You can have 3-4 fruit servings in different forms throughout the day.
Mealtime can be interesting
Summer veggies must form part of the daily diet of your kids but it need not be boring. Prepare mix veggie raita ( curd with veggies) wherein you can add cucumber, onion, and tomato to well-stirred curd. Garnish it with coriander leaves.
Else, prepare fruit raita using bananas, mangoes, and pomegranates. Kids would love to create and eat a colorful dish meal.
Another easy tip is to spread pizza sauce or any favorite sauce of child on roti (or tortilla) and add cooked veggies or dry chicken recipe to it. Now, roll the roti to get the ready-to-eat recipe for school hours or at home.
With this recipe, you will be relieved that your fussy kid is getting nutrients of whole food and veggies at the same time without any hassle!
Sweet dishes
Now, how can we ignore the daily dose of sweets to kids, but of course in proportion? Instead of ordering pastries, cakes, and icecreams from outside every time, try these at home.
Kids would love a visually delightful dish coming from your kitchen which can be as simple as vanilla ice cream with toppings of fresh fruits, dry fruits, or chocolate sauce dressing.
