Eating for Sustained Energy for Kids
I have mentioned it before but I adore children orientated cookbooks. It has the same recipes we grown ups love, made healthy but most importantly they look and taste good. Otherwise kids won't eat it! I myself are the same. Food should look AND taste good before I even taste it and healthy food is always a struggle. Remove the sugar and fat and you are usually left with cardboard. I am therefore happy to share a cookbook that I have been using for years: Eating for Sustained Energy for Kids.
I have tried and tested these recipes over and over again and they do use some strange ingredients like baking with Pronutro etc, but the dishes are low fat, low sugar, low GI and low GL. Here is a sample recipe from Gabie Steenkamp's website.
