Healthy Fats for Kids
Fishing for serving ideas? Here are kid-friendly ways to work more healthy, unsaturated fats into your menus.
*Canola oil: Use it for sauteing vegetables and lean meat. For salad dressings, use half canola oil, half olive oil (for flavor).
*Ground flaxseed: Use a couple of table spoons as a topper for salads; blend into morning fruit smoothie or sprinkle atop cereal at breakfast.
*Albacore tuna: Stir into lunchtime pasta salads; serve on toast with sliced avocados, a squirt of lime juice, and a dash of salt, or fold into your favorite dinner time casseroles.
*Walnuts: Add chopped walnuts to baked goods like banana bread, sprinkle on pancakes, or serve with an afternoon snack of cheese crackers.
*Sardines: Sneak them into pasta sauce.
