5 Favorite Dishes Made from Healthy Ingredients For Good Health

What do People like most? Of course, pastries, desserts and pasta are “simple” carbohydrates, which means empty calories, sugar and a minimum of nutritional value. It turns out that, pleasing the soul, we are depriving the childish body of important macro- and micro elements. Is there a solution? Yes! Offer People an equally tasty but healthy alternative. 

5 Favorite Dishes Made from Healthy Ingredients For Good Health are Below:

1. Banana Ice Cream:

What is childhood without ice cream? However, my child for the time being did not know what a classic ice cream is. And all thanks to bananas. Frozen bananas are an ideal ingredient for healthy ice cream. Neither sugar nor eggs are needed. Ripe banana gives sweetness and creates a perfect creamy texture. Place frozen slices in a blender, add cow or peanut milk and whisk - done! Two balls of classic ice cream on average contain about 28 grams (7 teaspoons) of sugar, while natural banana ice cream contains about 15 grams, as well as folates (folic acid salts), vitamins A, C and B6, potassium and magnesium. Armatizer? Berries, cocoa, nuts, coconut paste, vanilla - just choose your taste. Thus, children will receive fiber and vitamins, but without a shock dose of sugar and preservatives. And your favorite ice cream on sticks for kids can be made from whipped berries, natural yogurt, avocado or coconut cream. Mix the ingredients, pour into silicone molds and place in the freezer for several hours. It is convenient to have such a dessert at hand in case guests come, both small and adult. 

2. Vegetarian Pizza and Pasta:

Win-win options for kids are pasta and pizza. You can make them more nutritious by adding vegetables, herbs, nuts, which are sometimes difficult to feed children. Daughter’s favorite pasta with pesto contains basil, pine nuts, parmesan, lemon juice and a small amount of garlic. It is unlikely that she would agree to eat separately. I often make pizza vegetarian, but a generous layer of mozzarella makes her take a fresh look at zucchini and bell pepper. A universal pesto made from sun-dried tomatoes can be used both for pizza and pasta (or as an ideal addition to toasts).
To prepare the dough, use whole grain wheat flour. The fiber content needed for healthy digestion in white flour is 3.5 grams per glass, and in whole grain 15 grams! 

3. Milkshakes:

Another great way to feed your baby fruit, vegetables, and even herbs is to replace the milkshakes with a smoothie. Parsley, spinach, cucumbers, seasonal berries and fruits - put them in a blender, add milk or natural yogurt, vanilla or cinnamon, dried fruit or coconut sugar and beat. For children who do not recognize porridge, this is a great way to get acquainted with oatmeal, which, in combination with banana, milk, vanilla or natural cocoa, will sparkle with new colors. Frozen berries are suitable for the cold version. 

4. Fast Food:

A healthy diet is at risk when it comes to snacks, especially when traveling and walking. Sometimes it is tempting to offer a tired child not the most healthy foods: sweets, bread, and sometimes chips. But if the chips are not made from starchy potatoes flavored with preservatives, but, for example, baked carrots, your conscience is clear! Cooking takes 15 minutes, and the composition includes vitamins A and K, biotin and antioxidants. Mix finely chopped vegetables with coconut oil, salt or cinnamon, put on parchment and put in the oven (200-220 degrees) for 10 minutes until golden brown. For home-made snacks, I also use baked apples, peaches, pears with cinnamon or sweet potato sticks with spices. 

5. Bakery Products:

Pancakes, pancakes, and muffins can be made more healthy by using whole grain flour, oatmeal, baked fruits, and vegetables. For example, sugar in pancakes can be replaced with mashed potato. And in muffins, use an avocado containing about 20 vitamins, minerals and proper fats, instead of butter. Since daughter prefers cheese cakes to any buns, I had to experiment a lot with the ingredients to find a balance of taste and benefit. Use farm eggs and cottage cheese, replace refined flour, for example, with coconut, with a high fiber content and low glycemic index. White sugar can be replaced with coconut or use raisins with vanilla for sweetness and aroma. Whipped berries with a spoon of honey and yogurt will be the perfect dessert sauce. For frying - cottage cheese pancakes, pancakes, fritters - coconut oil of the first extraction or ghee (Ghee butter), which gives the dishes a special creamy flavor, is perfect.
