Fun Salads for Child on Diet




Everybody knows that a diet demands some creative solutions for how to fill that plate up. It is never easy to just cut down on food that has worked as comfort and left you feeling full and soothed. This is no different for a child on a diet and in order to make the weight loss for a kid endurable it is important to offer some fun and healthy alternatives. You don’t have to slice a cucumber and place on the plate to make up for the chips. Here are some really cool ideas for salads that are attractive for a child that needs to lose weight!

Carrots

With carrots you can make many healthy things. If your child likes carrot juice you should consider investing in a juice maker. With a juice maker you can make juice of any vegetable and fruit that you like and get healthy naturally sweet drinks. Carrots are good for weight loss and they also promote healthy eyes so you are smart to include them in your child’s diet!




A very tasty carrot salad is made out of grated carrots and crushed pineapples. Take out the grater and shred the carrot at any size that you’d like. Mix the carrots with pieces of pineapples and you get a sweet and tasty salad that kids like!

Regular Salad made fun!

You can also create a regular salad in a new format. Slice the cucumbers, tomatoes and some spice the coriander into miniature pieces. Add miniature pieces of onion to this and mix it well. You can also pour some olive oil and lemon juice on this salad to make a real treat. Don’t forget the salt but both salt and olive oil must be used with moderation for a child on a diet!

The things that make the Salad more Eatable

For kids on a diet that hate the veggies you need to consider how to make that salad more attractive. Sometimes it is enough to mix in pineapple to make it look less like salad but some kids are trickier than other. Consider different types of nuts like almonds and walnuts as an addition to your salads. You can also roast sunflower seeds and add to the salad. These ingredients also promote a longer satisfied feeling so that your child won’t feel hungry so soon and benefit from the salad that you added to the meal.

You can also add a spoon of humus or sesame paste to make the salad tastier and get an effect similar to the one of the nuts. Since humus and sesame paste are fatty ingredients you need to be careful not to overdo it or leave access to refills to the child to handle! Remember that everything in moderation will help your child lose that weight so be supportive with this by limiting the access to the goodies!
