What parents haven\u2019t had the experience of watching their children\u2019s tiny noses turn up at a five-star meal that\u2019s taken hours (or at least an hour<\/em>) to prepare? While nothing\u2019s a sure thing with little ones, we asked Michelle Graves<\/a>, Centre de bien-\u00eatre Hancock<\/a> dietitian, nutritionist, and certified health and wellness coach, for a few healthy and kid-approved lunch recipes. Try them!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Healthier Penne Chicken Alfredo with Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce<\/h3>\n

This dish may be reserved for more adventurous child eaters unless, of course, you choose to keep the cauliflower ingredient to yourself. Whip this up for dinner, keeping leftovers in a container for the kids\u2019 lunch the next day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n

\n

Ingr\u00e9dients:<\/p>\n

Whole wheat penne pasta<\/p>\n

Alfredo sauce (recipe below)<\/p>\n

Chicken<\/p>\n

Optional: broccoli, peas, spinach, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2 cups raw cauliflower florets<\/p>\n

2 tsp. minced garlic, or 1\/4 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. salt<\/p>\n

2 tbsp. butter or olive oil, or omit for fat-free<\/p>\n

1 cup milk of choice<\/p>\n

Optional – 1\/2 cup shredded mozzarella or nutritional yeast<\/p>\n

Optional – 1\/4 cup diced shallot or onion<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Instructions:<\/p>\n

1.) Put all ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a complete boil, then cover and simmer 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is fall-apart tender.<\/p>\n

2.) Remove from heat. Pulverize with an immersion or regular blender.<\/p>\n

3.) Serve over whole wheat pasta, spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, rice, roasted vegetables, or whatever you wish.<\/p>\n

Tuna Salad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

This is a classic, but tuna can be subbed out for chicken if your kid isn\u2019t into fish. Check out the recipe in the link (above, in the title) for a delicious and kid-friendly version. You can serve it on bread or pack it in a lunch box with crackers. Don\u2019t forget to add some fresh fruits and veggies, cheese, yogurt, or trail mix to round out the meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Other healthy lunch ideas can include wraps, soups, pita and hummus, or deli meat and crackers. Cubed cheeses, fresh fruits and cut veggies add more wholesome, fresh foods to your children\u2019s diets. And adding in a dessert or juice box is okay on occasions, too, but keeping blood sugar levels stable makes it easier for kids to concentrate on schoolwork.
