Tips To Providing A Healthy Diet For Toddlers
Getting a toddler to eat on a balanced healthy diet may be one of the most difficult tasks, but it is doable. We have a few tips about how you can get your toddler to take on a healthier diet.
Stay Away From Sugar
Toddlers love any and everything that is sweet. But just like for adults, Kids should stay away from the sugar as much as possible. You can still satisfy the child craving for some sweet with some healthy options.
- Granola Bars
- Sugar-Free Pudding
- Apple Slices w/ Peanut Butter Dip
- Orange Slices
- Raisins
- Banana Chips
Protein
Yes, toddlers need protein just like adults do but it not common to get a toddler to eat a steak on a regular basis. The thing about protein is if you keep a good balance of it in the child diet, they will be less likely to want the bag of chips or other junk foods that provide no nutritional value.
Here are some unique ways to get more protein into your toddler’s diet
- Grilled Cheese
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- Fruit Parfait
- Chicken Nuggets
Make It Fun
A toddler may not fully understand the idea of eating healthy, but you can disguise your plans by making things fun for them. By simply changing the shape of certain foods, you can enhance the child’s eating experience and get them to eat the right type of foods.
No one knows your child better than you do so get creative when implementing fun foods into their diet.
