It’s nice to have a game plan, especially when it comes to our health and fueling our bodies. Also, it’s important for kids to learn the importance of eating well.

But nearly all kids go through at least one phase of picky eating, especially when it comes to eating wholesome foods like whole grains, fruit and veggies.

So, this meal plan for kids is here to help take the pressure off of you. With our kid-friendly hidden vegetable recipes and fruit recipes, there will be no more scrounging for new ways to get your kids to eat those healthy, wholesome foods. And hopefully, less arguments at the dinner table.

You can rest at ease knowing that all of these gluten free recipes and snacks have been tried and tested by many of my family members and their kids (my nieces and nephews).

But what’s more important is that they don’t feel deprived eating these gluten free meals with hidden veggies and/or fruit. Instead, they feel energized and healthy!

It’s important for kids to really absorb their nutrients in order to maximize their growth and health. Eating a REAL FOOD gluten free diet can do just that. It reduces inflammation (with anti-inflammatory foods) in the body, fuels the brain, and replenishes the body.
