Protein For Kids

2/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Sometimes my kids get so hangry that I am desperate for them to eat something. One of my kids is particularly picky, so I try to get some protein in him when I can, not knowing when or what he will eat next since his diet is 75% cheez-its. Here are some things we've found with some sneaky protein. His flavor recommendation is in parenthesis. 

LaLa Smoothies, 5g (mango)

Clif Builder's Bars, 20g (mint chocolate chip)

I think these are intended for body builders, as they have a whopping 20g of protein.
Van's Protein Waffles, 11g and Kodiak Power Waffles, 12g (original)
Clif Kidz Bars, 5g (chocolate chip)

These aren't my favorites because they have 9g sugar for only 5g protein, but he'll eat them .
He doesn't like any type of cheese or lunch meat or any foods that touch each other, so we don't do sandwiches or casseroles, but we do try to incorporate
  • peanuts
  • trail mix
  • plain pepperoni 
  • key lime coladas- equal parts coconut cream, lime juice, and ice. Blend. 
  • greek yogurt (vanilla)
  • cereal with milk
  • protein pastas
  • beef jerky (mild)
  • peanut butter and apples​​
