How to convince your kids to eat superfoods

It's a well-known fact that a lot of kids don't like to eat stuff that's good for them. Why ask for fruits and veggies as a snack when chips are available? And what reasonable 10-year-old would opt for a healthy meal of salmon and salad when they can get their hands on McDonald's? While these foods are fine as treats once in a while, it's sad fact that fast food and junk food is the biggest part of many kids' diets, making these unhealthy foods at least partly responsible for the growing youth obesity epidemic.

It's a shame though, because there are so many superfoods out there that children should be eating, and which when prepared right, can be really tasty. If you're struggling to find ways to get your kids to eat stuff that's good for them, take a look at these 10 superfoods, which can be substituted fairly easily for less healthy stuff. For example, at breakfast give them whole-wheat toast with natural nut butter instead of white-bread toast with peanut-butter that has extra sugar added.

Or try one of the suggested recipes, which include Creamy Noodles with Organic Chicken and Broccoli for dinner, followed by Blueberry Crisp for dessert. For kids, eating healthy doesn't necessarily mean eating foods that are boring and don't taste good. For more ideas on superfoods for kids check this out.
