Kids play outside and come home hungry in the evening. They want something quick, but parents want to feed them a dish that does not kill their appetite for dinner. Here are some ideas you can play around with.
A snack would be to cut vegetable sticks and serve them with hummus. It is rich in fibre and protein, and will be light on the small stomachs.
If you have leftover idli-dosa batter, quickly prepare mini idli in an appam pan. These will turn out soft and delicious.
You can also serve roasted makhana to kids in the evening. These will help to curb their cravings and improve their overall well-being.
Fruit smoothies are lightweight, refreshing, and nourishing. They will instantly satisfy the hunger and refuel your child with energy.
Fruit chaat is also delicious, not to mention loaded with essential nutrients and seasonal produce. Sprinkle chaat masala to make it more appealing to the taste buds.
Top whole wheat bread slices with vegetables and cheese. Toast the slices and serve them with ketchup.
Corn chaat is yet another easy but lightweight snack that children enjoy. It does not kill the appetite for dinner and nourishes the body.
