Healthiest Foods for Kids, According to a Nutritionist

Beans

Beans of any kind are a healthy choice for your little ones. Chickpeas, red beans, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, even green beans are all packed with fiber and antioxidants. Plus, there are lots of yummy ways to integrate beans into your child’s diet, including refried beans on tacos, chili, bean salads and baked beans.

Almond, cashew, peanut and other nut butter varieties are super healthy choices for your kids. They’re full of protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. While many kids love a PB&J or apples with nut butter, there are also tons of ways to hide the ingredient. Muffins, smoothies, oatmeal and desserts are all great options.
