Re: Hi Calorie but nutritious foods for kids
grilled cheese sandwiches. (You can grill them with sliced tomatoes, a couple of spinach leaves, mushrooms, for added nutrition)
quesadillas.
tuna noodle casserole (incorporates fish protein),
fish fingers. Combine minced fish with boiled potatoes and form into patties. Dip in egg, coat with bread crumbs and shallow fry.
Pasta salads. Kids love the texture of pasta and you can include pieces of chicken and a variety of fresh veggies (peppers, olives, zuchini, tomatoes, diced egg, etc). Add olive oil to it.
Salads in general taste better when kids have a yummy dip/dressing to go with it. And you can include leafy greens like spinach as well.
Chinese style vegetable/meat stir fries.
fruit yogurt
fruit chaat
yogurt chaat. Mix yogurt until smooth. And add boiled chickpeas, boiled and diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, and seasonings (salt, garam masala), imli chutney. Very healthy.
