3 Superfoods to Sneak
in Your Kid’s Lunch
The
kids heading back to school means you are headed back to work. And, I am not
just talking about your actual job, you know, the one where you go to an office
everyday throughout the Monday through Friday workweek. I am talking about
packing lunches, that’s right, it is that time again. Packing your children’s
lunches is a great way to guarantee they are getting the nutrients they need,
as you do not always know what is prepared at the school’s cafeteria. Here are
five superfoods you can sneak into your child’s lunch. Superfoods will provide
the extra health boost they need!
1. Chia Seeds
Chia
seeds are great because they can be put into almost anything. In addition, chia
seeds pack a powerful nutrient-rich punch, they are high in protein, fat and
omega-3s. Chia seeds have been said to protect the body from chronic diseases.
Sprinkle some chia seeds into your kid’s sandwich, yogurt or smoothie and they
will instantly have a super lunch.
2. Avocado
Filled
with mass amounts of fiber and potassium, avocado is truly one of the more
delicious superfoods. And, with a plethora of uses it is easy to sneak in some
avocado to your kid’s sack lunch. Start by introducing them to guacamole, and
then you can put a little guacamole with some blue corn tortilla chips or
veggie chips into their lunch. Once they warm up to the avocado, use it in
sandwiches, salads or other main courses.
3. Blueberries
Finally,
something a little easier. Everyone loves blueberries, right? I mean how can
you now appreciate such a delicious fruit. Most importantly, this fruit is one
of the most powerful superfoods you can consume. High in antioxidants and
phytonutrients, low in sugars and rich in vitamin C, this berry is a modern-day
wonder. But, perhaps the easiest thing about blueberries is that you don’t even
have to sneak them in. Just put the berries in a small container in your
child’s lunch and they are sure to eat them up.
