One of the things that parents exhaust much time fretting about is creating and preparing nutritious recipes for their little ones. While it can sometimes be difficult to always prepare nutritious recipes, especially when you have little time or are in a rush after work, there are several nutritious recipes that you can make simply, here are just a few.

Applesauce
Almost all kids enjoy applesauce and applesauce is deceptively simple to make and very delicious. All that is required are 2 red apples, two teaspoons of sugar (brown sugar is fine), a few tablespoons of lemon and a dash cinnamon. Creating applesauce is simple, just put your two red apples in a food processor, throwing out the core first. Process the apples and once they become chopped up into small pieces put them in a bowl; add your sugar, lemon juice and finally a few pinches of cinnamon. Voila, you have fresh and all natural apple sauce.

Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
Here is a recipe that most everyone will enjoy. Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits are very simple to make and you can create various types of parfaits just by choosing different kinds of fruits. For this recipe you can begin with about 8 ounces of yogurt, some chopped up strawberries and some fresh granola. Just mix the yogurt and strawberries together and add the granola to the top. You can simply improvise with this recipe, mixing in any type of fruits you like. In addition to adding granola, you can opt to add your favorite cereal, nuts, a few drops of chocolate or a gummy bear or two. This recipe takes only a second to make and will put a smile on all your children’s faces.

Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are tasty, fun to eat, and simple to make. They are also very nutritious. You just need potatoes, some fresh milk, and a little butter. One of the ways to dress up your mashed potatoes for little ones is to add some food coloring, especially for the holidays. For instance, many people during St. Patrick’s Day make green mashed potatoes. While you can quickly dress up mashed potatoes, this is one food that your kids will enjoy because it tastes great. It is important to note that while you can buy mashed potato flakes, it is always better to use fresh potatoes.

Cinnamon French Toast
Are you looking for a healthy breakfast option? French toast is it! You can make French Toast very easily, just take white bread, or almost any variety of bread and place it into a mixture of fresh milk and eggs that have been slightly beaten. Now cook it on a griddle with either a drop of butter or cooking spray and voila, you have French Toast. Rather than using high sugar syrups or fatty butter, opt instead to sprinkle yummy powdered sugar. Lots of parents use fresh fruits as well, such as strawberries and raspberries to top off their creation.
