soft coconut banana cakes, a safe dish for children from 1 year old
Ripe bananas, grated coconut and a little flour are enough to make a soft, fragrant, easy-to-eat tray of banana cakes. Just cultivate the banana, mix with the flour and coconut, steam for 15 minutes and it's done. The advantage of this dish is that it does not require sugar because the natural sweetness of bananas is attractive enough. Newborns or adults can eat without fear of indigestion.
Nutritionist Dr. Melissa Grant, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health (USA), commented: Bananas contain potassium and soluble fiber, which help children stay full longer and support digestion very well. Simple dishes will retain more nutrients". On weekends, a tray of warm coconut banana cakes is also a way for the whole family to start the day gently.
Oatmeal banana smoothie, quick but still nutritious breakfast
Just need a banana, oatmeal, unsweetened yogurt and a little fresh milk. Put everything in a blender for 15 seconds and have a cool glass of smoothie, suitable for slow family mornings. This dish is especially suitable for children who are lazy to eat breakfast or often irritable on an empty stomach.
A quick but healthy breakfast helps stabilize children, limit fatigue and increase concentration throughout the day, says child psychologist Andrew Collins, Australian Center for Pediatric Development (Australia). Oatmeal smoothie also helps adults learn the habit of preparing breakfast themselves - the first step of independence.
Banana ice cream, a sweet joy for the afternoon
Cut the banana into pieces, skewer the sticks, soak in yogurt and roll over the oatmeal or dried coconut. Let it winter for 2-3 hours, then have a cool sticky rice banana ice cream, no additives, no refined sugar. Children can help from banana skewers to decorations. The dish is simple but creates moments of laughter in the kitchen, something that industrial meals are unlikely to bring.
There is no need for luxury dishes on weekends, as long as something is sweet enough, fun enough and children can participate. Banana dishes, a familiar fruit for every family, are a small bridge to bring parents and children closer together after a long week.
