You can’t fully appreciate trying to feed kids…until you have one of your own. Kids are notoriously selective when it comes to dinnertime. Luckily, we’ve got two kiddos on hand to test all our recipes. Here are our top healthy dinner ideas for kids! Each recipe in this list has been tested on real kids (our son and daughter!) who have given their stamp of approval. Whether you’re looking for healthy recipes or just something fast and easy to get on the table, we’ve got something for everyone in this list. Ready to get started?
And now…healthy dinner ideas for kids, tested by a real kid!
Sides to make a healthy meal
How to round out these dinner ideas for kids into healthy meals? There are lots of ideas that don’t even require cooking! Here are some of our favorites (also tested on a real kid):
Veggies and hummus: Hummus is a nice plant-based option for adding protein to a meal. Carrot sticks, red pepper slices, snap peas: A side dish for kids can be nothing more than adding some fresh vegetables to a plate. Yogurt fruit dip: This fruit dip is perfect for adding protein from Greek yogurt with your kid’s favorite fruit. Apple slices, grapes, banana slices, blueberries, pineapple: Or go without dip and add fresh fruit! Peas: These easy frozen peas take just 5 minutes and are incredibly delicious: and protein-packed. Refried beans: Our son absolutely loves refried canned beans as a side dish, and they add plant-based protein. Roasted broccoli: This roasted broccoli is as irresistible as French fries (promise!) .
