There are many benefits to eating beans. Beans are high in protein and fiber, two nutrients that you and your child need to help build strong muscles, regulate blood sugar and keep regular bowel movements. They are the perfect healthy food for kids.
Not only are beans tasty, but they are a wonderful food that can be sneaked into tons of different recipes so you can get the added benefits of its nutrients, but without the fuss at the dinner table about whether or not your child wants to eat beans or not.
We understand what it’s like to have a picky eater here, which is why we made this list of recipes just for you. From a fiesta corn and avocado salad to a black bean quinoa burger; these recipes are sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
And as a helpful hint, be sure to serve beans on the side of these bean-hidden dishes. Your child may not know that what they are eating has beans in it; so be sure to serve up a dish of beans so they are more exposed to the food. They may not eat it, but remember, exposure to new foods is the first step to getting your kids to eat new foods.
