Low Calorie Kid Friendly Recipes

Welcome to the Low Calorie Kid Friendly Recipes web page









Why seek low calorie recipes for kids?
Well, perhaps you are trying to lose weight
And don't want to prepare separate meals
With different stuff on each person's plate

Or maybe you think it will serve your kids well
If they learn, now, what's good to eat
Or perhaps it's a bit of both.
It's certainly a hard challenge to meet

Fruit and vegetables are high up on the list
Of good nutrition/low calorie grub
But which kid says "Yeah Mom (Mum)
I'd love spinach and broccoli in my sub"

Let's Try a Healthy Sub

1 loaf French bread

3 Tbspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 scallion, chopped
2 Tbspoon olive oil

Load the bread, sliced in half, with carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Add the dressing. Cut into four mini subs.
