Sneaky Whole-Grain Upgrades Your Kids Won’t Notice

Sneaky Whole-Grain Upgrades Your Kids Won’t Notice

Is getting your child to eat healthy foods akin to tackling a wrestling champ? You’re not alone! Sometimes wholesome grains can be a little… well, gritty… and not nearly as exciting as that slice of white bread. Luckily, we got you covered! Here are a few magic tricks to upgrade your child’s diet with whole grains so sneakily, they won’t even notice!

Whole-Grain Pizza Crust

Who doesn’t love a good slice of pizza? Thankfully, pizza offers an excellent opportunity for a whole-grain swap. Buy whole-grain pizza crusts or whip up your own easy homemade whole-wheat dough. Not only will it satisfy your kids’ pizza cravings, but it will also introduce them to the healthier choice of whole grain. And the best part? When smeared with tomato sauce and buried under cheese, they’ll never know the difference!

Whole-Wheat Pancakes or Waffles

Everybody loves the smell of pancakes or waffles on a lazy weekend morning, right? Sneak in some whole grains by replacing half the white flour with whole grain flour. Your kids won’t taste the difference, but they’ll be getting the benefit of added fiber and nutrients. Remember to top them with fresh fruits instead of syrup for an even healthier breakfast!

Coat It With Whole Grain

Chicken nuggets, fish fingers, and even mozzarella sticks can get a whole grain makeover! Instead of using regular breadcrumbs, go for whole grain breadcrumbs or pulverised whole-grain cereal. You’ll add a nice bit of fiber and nutrients without compromising that scrumptious crunch your kiddos love.

Brown Rice Instead Of White

Whether it’s a side dish or part of the main course like fried rice, brown rice can be a great nutrition booster. It has a nutty flavor your kids might come to love, all while providing necessary fibers and vitamins.

Getting your kids to eat whole grains doesn’t have to be a battle. Just be a little sneaky, and you’ll have them eating healthier in no time.
