Super salads You only need a few ingredients to make a fabulous, no-fuss salad at home. Use a bag of pre-washed salad greens, some reduced fat shredded cheese, and some leftover shredded chicken, turkey or ham as the base for your salad. Accessorize it with sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, shredded carrots, a can of garbanzo beans or some chopped boiled egg. Drizzle a little low fat salad dressing on top and you’re all set! Creative quesadillas Quesadillas make a great choice because you and your children can customize them to meet your individual tastes. Start with whole wheat or corn tortillas and add your favorite fillings, such as shredded chicken or beef, shrimp, reduced fat cheese, roasted vegetables and fat-free refried beans. Serve some fresh salsa and fat-free sour cream on the side. If you don’t own a quesadilla maker, you can also make them on the stovetop in just a couple minutes. Homemade personal pan pizzas Instead of ordering a pizza, why not make your own healthier version at home? Start by splitting a whole wheat bagel or muffin in half to use as the crust. Spread some store-bought pizza sauce over the crust and top with reduced fat mozzarella cheese. Let your children choose from toppings such as shredded chicken, turkey pepperoni, sliced red or green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and black olives. Pop the pizzas in a toaster oven and bake for a couple minutes until the cheese has melted. Stacked sandwiches Kids of all ages love sandwiches, especially when their favorite ingredients are stacked inside! Grab a loaf of whole wheat bread or pita pockets and let your children choose their favorite lean meats, such as turkey, chicken, ham or roast beef. You can personalize your sandwiches by adding slices of reduced fat cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion or pickles. Spread a little reduced fat mayonnaise, mustard or ketchup on top to complete your sandwich masterpiece. Thrilling and chilling dessert Now that you’ve finished your dinner, it’s time to chill out with dessert! Whip up a sweet and satisfying low fat sundae in no time with just a few simple ingredients. All you need is a scoop of fat free frozen vanilla yogurt, a handful of fresh strawberries or blueberries and a sprinkling of crunchy granola on top.
