Deceptively Delicious
Maintaining a healthy diet can be a challenge when you’re a mom, especially when your kids are averse to any food that’s green.
“The secret is being super-organized,” says Jessica Seinfeld, working mother of three, and author of the new book Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food.
Two of the strategies she uses to work healthful foods into her – and her family’s – life:
Eat a quick breakfast every morning. Most often, Seinfeld microwaves a bowl of oatmeal and tops it with fresh blueberries, so she knows she’s starting off the day with something nutritionally sound.
Sneak in the nutrients. She blends steamed vegetables (broccoli, peppers, carrots) in a food processor, then mixes them into kid-friendly dishes, so she can enjoy them too.
Some favorites: pancakes with sweet-potato puree and mac and cheese made with reduced-fat Cheddar and cauliflower puree. [source: Shape]
