There's something to be said for making food fun for kids.
I've never EVER seen Babycakes eat so much hommus and almonds and veggies in one sitting. :) And she ate it super fast, as evidenced by this gif... and even asked for seconds.
A little creativity goes a long way...
in showing kids that nourishing, healthy foods can be beautiful, fun, and delicious.
This savory snack plate is packed with good-for-you things:
- Cedar's Hommus
- Almonds
- Spinach
- Heirloom grape tomatoes
- Black bean crisps
- Cheddar cheese
- Bell peppers, sliced
- Wheatgrass (optional)
Babycakes' favorite flavor of hommus is the garlic one -- she loves garlic just like her momma! But there are so many to choose from: Lemon Zest, Artichoke Spinach, Avocado, Balsamic Caramelized Onion, Everything, Pineapple Jalapeno, and more!
The best part is...it only takes a few minutes to make and prepare. I don't know about you, but I don't have hours upon hours of free time to make my kid's food into masterpieces daily. But 5 minutes? That I have.
So, let your creativity run wild, sweet Mommas! Your kids will thank you.
