their way to your child’s mouth. Although we are no chefs, this gives us
parents all the warnings in the world to do something innovative in our

green vegetables and fruits which you can serve them. And booyah, they ask for
me! So here’s a list of the must 7s which ought to be in your kitchen.

a storehouse of protein and vitamin D and can seriously be called nutritional
shells. They also help children digest calcium and are apt for breakfasts as
they keep kids satiated for longer periods.

diseases and diabetes. It helps improve the brain function of children and help
with obesity by reducing the toxic belly fat. Loaded with sweetness and taste,
the nutritious fruit is easy to be included in your kid’s diet. Serve it
sprinkled over shakes or toss it into a bowl of oats and milk. You can also
serve frozen yogurt with whirred up blueberries.

Greek yogurt has way more protein and less sugar as compared to the regular
one. It can be served with a few drops of honey or maple syrup.

and breast tissues. It contains vitamin B, protein, calcium and iron – all
essentials for kid’s right growth. Serve it as a creamy base in smoothies and
desserts.
Salmon: This
low-leveled mercury pink fish is an excellent source of protein and Omega-3
fatty acids which boost growth, brain and heart health. It is easier to serve
owing to its natural flavor.
