We all know what healthy food is about: carbohydrates, lots of fruit, vegetables, whole-grain bread, and dairy products like yogurt, eggs, and milk. If you're wondering how to teach your kids and teens the importance of healthy food, there are cooking classes for kids that teach them just that. You can also invite them into your own kitchen and show them that they can use their imagination to make up recipes with vegetables of different colors, lean meat, eggs, and, at the same time, share some good quality time together.

Good Nutrition: a Family Affair

These recipes were especially created to teach your kids and teens that healthy food can be absolutely delicious: Chicken Nuggets Toss the chicken in a bag with Parmesan cheese and seasoned stuffing mix, and then bake it in the oven. These chicken nuggets are crispy, but they don´t have the extra fat you get from frying. If you think that pizza is not a nutritious food, take a look at this:

Yummy Pizza

2- Peel and chop some onion

3- Cut whole-grain pita bread in circles

4- Place the bread on a baking pan and sprinkle with onion, Italian seasoning, and mozzarella cheese.

5. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese melts.

Leave fruit and vegetables on hand and let them use their imagination.

Your Healthy Food Guide

-Choose green and orange vegetables

-Choose fresh fruit as often as you can

-Choose full-grained food (cereal, rice, whole-grain bread)

-Use olive oil, if possible What about Sugar, Sweets and Desserts? Cookies, cakes, ice-cream, and muffins contain a lot of fat and sugar. Let your kids have a small amount at the end of a healthy meal.
