New Meal Ideas for Kids
Today’s healthy meals idea is going to be a little different. SHK reader Christine was looking for some toddler menu ideas and so, rather than a family meal plan, this week I’ve got a meal plan specifically for preschoolers!
| Breakfast | Lunch | Snack | Dinner | |
| Monday | Cheerios, sliced bananas and 1/2 cup plain yogurt | Small soft taco with beans, tomatoes, and lettuce/ apple | 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers with string cheese | Spaghetti with vegetables and green salad |
| Tuesday | 1/2 cup oatmeal with peaches and soy milk | Grilled sandwich (Whole wheat bread, light cream cheese, avocado) | Vegetable slices with hummus for a dip | Chicken tenders with mashed potato cupcakes and green beans |
| Wednesday | Scrambled eggs and strawberries | English muffin pizzas with shredded carrots | Sliced apples with peanut butter | Chicken Noodle soup |
| Thursday | Whole wheat toast with nut butter and bananas | Vegetable pita pockets (avocado, tomatoes, lettuce) | Graham crackers and applesauce mixed with raisins | Quesadilla’s with shredded veggies and fruit salad |
| Friday | Mini blueberry pancakes topped with yogurt | Sweet potato salad and cantaloupe | Dates and almonds | Two bean corn meal pie |
A few weeks ago, Blue Mountain Organics sent me a treat to try! It was the snack bar Coco Joy. I did not share it with my kids! It was too delicious, and I needed a treat. It’s raw, vegan, organic, and contains only the most simple ingredients, yet soooo yummy. The only thing in these snack bars is:
Coconut, Cashews, Dates, Almonds, Agave, Cacao, Vanilla.
So, if you are looking for some raw, vegan, organic, awesome food, check them out.
*Don’t forget the printable meal plans are here.

Another Easy Meal Plan
After every life event I have the same thoughts,
After my next test, I’ll spend more time in kitchen….
After TJ’s birthday, I’ll make more bread…
After the PTA fundraiser, I’ll soak my beans, rather than get them out of a can.”
And what happens next: Another bigger and more time consuming thing!
So as a result, this menu plan is going to be Crockpot week or:
“I have no time to be in the kitchen” plan, but if possible, I’ll stick the kids in the kitchen in my place.”
If you have a healthy recipe you think our family would enjoy for future menu plans, feel free to email me a link, or the recipe, and I’ll be happy to link to your recipes in future meal plans! Thanks!!!
Disclaimer: All my children are in school, and I actually send them sandwiches in their lunch every day. These lunches are ideas if you need variety!
| Breakfast | Lunch | Snack | Dinner | |
| Monday | Homemade Freezer waffles with sliced bananas | Chicken salad pockets | Tapioca with fruit | Crockpot: Black bean chicken wraps |
| Tuesday | Oatmeal with berries | English muffin pizzas | Baked tortilla chips with bean dip | Crockpot: Café Rio sweet pork burritos |
| Wednesday |
Scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast Sliced apples |
Tortilla pinwheels with light cream cheese and vegetables | Fruity finger chicken salad |
Strawberries and greens salad And crock pot Chicken tenders |
| Thursday | “Banana splits” (sliced banana, yogurt and granola on top) | Almond butter and Fruit spread on mini whole wheat bagles (PB&J) |
Zucchini Bread(So, I need a little baking time, or I’ll go through withdrawal) |
Crockpot Minestrone Soup |
| Friday | One eyed monsters and orange juice | Whole wheat pasta with broccoli and parmesan cheese | Baked pita slices with hummus | Crockpot cranberry chicken with green beans |
If there is ever something in my menu that I didn’t post the recipe or link for (generally because its in one of my cookbooks), feel free to email me, and I’ll get it to you. amy@superhealthykids.com
What to look forward to this week: (subject to change if something doesn’t turn out right)
- Party/ Finger food
- Red Cabbage
- Coconut nests
- Crockpot recipe
- Indoor activity idea

Smoothilicious- Orange creamsicle Smoothie
There are so many different ways to make a smoothie, your kids should never be bored. While not packed full of fruits and veggies, this smoothie sure made a great treat. We called it the Orange creamsicle smoothie. I’ve seen different versions on many different websites, but I kept ours simple:
- 1 Cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 24 ice cubes
Put all ingredients in a blender.
And drink
