My daughter is studying in 12th std. She often gets tired when she comes from school. She never takes veggies, she likes only Non veg (Chicken) and Potato, Pasta, Cheese, corn...And as a working mother I don't have time to cook Non veg on week days and I also feel Pasta is not a healthy food. I tried my best in giving advice on health eating, balanced food but she don't listen to me. Any quick recipes that can motivate my daughter to have Veggies. One day One Curry kind of... the recipe shouldn't take more than 8 minutes of time. It should be tastier too.
@Anonymous Hi! We understand your concern, but it is natural for children to get tired after school, especially considering the fact that she is in the 12th standard, and very busy with academics and course work. For an evening snack, we suggest that you give her an energizer which could be a quick, easy-to-make and healthy SMOOTHIE (Click link for 5 Smoothie Recipes - https://www.parentcircle.com/article/5-delicious-smoothie-recipes-for-your-kids-to-enjoy/). Since you are a working mother, you could also keep legumes like Kabuli Chana, Rajma, etc. boiled at night, and make a quick curry with it in the morning. Another quick idea is making a nutritious dry fruits, coconut and dates ball, such that you can store it in the fridge and your daughter can pop it in her mouth, when she is hungry and needs a boost of energy. Hope this helps!
