Healthy recipes that your kids will love too!


Mothers are always in a dilemma about the everyday menu. Deciding the breakfast, lunch and dinner can be so tiresome because they got to pick something which not only the kids will gobble-upwithout any drama, but also make up for their daily dose of nutrients. The bigger question is how to do it?

Well, it might be a relief to hear that there are some recipes which belong to the healthy category and can also be your kid’s favourite. There are some ways you can also do a little experimentation and turn a ‘not so healthy recipe’ into a healthy one. So, let me share some recipes with you to start with!

1.      Healthy Aloo Tikki
What would one do if potatoes didn’t exist? They are truly a saviour! But many people avoid eating them due to the fat content in them. Fair enough! So, you can always add in or replace regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a better option; sweet potatoes are healthier because of their rich protein and fibre content. Air-fried aloo tikkis made with a mix of both the potatoes are a perfect evening snack and a nutritious choice for you and your kids both.


This one’s aprotein powerhouse because it is prepared with two such vegetarian ingredients that are high on this nutrient – cottage cheese and sprouted green gram make this delectable toast, ideal for breakfast or snacktime. You can substitute the white bread slices with multigrain or brown bread to turn it even healthier. Trust me, your kids are going to keep coming back for more.

3.      Healthy Egg Rolls
It is true that eggs are one of the highest sources of proteins and Vitamin D, is versatile, hence,best for your kids too. Boiled eggs are not something everybody loves to eat a lot, though they are great for health. You can actually do a lot more with it, like an egg roll to start with; it can serve as a perfect breakfast or even a filling dinner. You can add some veggies in this roll and customise it as you like. This one isalso made with whole wheat flour which is always a better option than refined flour. If your kid is not so much of an egg lover, I suggest you can try making a chicken roll too!



4.      Bhajnee Thalipeeth
This Maharashtrian snack is the best way to incorporate top-notch wholesome ingredients in your diet. These are easy to make, great in taste and can be the perfect dinner recipe for your kid. Bhajnee flour is made with a mixture of multiple flours which makes it super nutritious for everybody. Especially kids because they are fussy about not eating high nutrient foods in general. So, this recipe will do the trick!


5.      Veggie Quesadillas
Kids are always finicky about roti and sabzi together right? What if we make it slightly fancier and turn it into delish quesadillas? I bet they are going to love it! This one’s the perfect recipe to sneak in veggies into their diet. Colourful vegetables, corn and cheese stuffed inside wheat flour rotis are cooked till golden brown and crisp. Serve this one and see the smile of satisfaction on your kid’s face.
