Sneaky Chef Tips for Eating Healthier
I love these ideas! And if you’re cooking for kids (or generally picky eaters), these strategies will go a long way toward turning that all-white pasta and flour menu into something nutritious!
Sneaky Chef Strategies
With a few ingenious ingredients and simple substitutions, the Sneaky Chef can help parents in the never-ending quest for healthy foods that their children will devour happily. Below are some “sneaky” tips, along with a few examples of how to use The Sneaky Chef’s signature purees in family-friendly dishes:
— Always use a whole grain flour blend when making recipes that call for flour.
— Include the white puree of cauliflower and zucchini in macaroni and cheese.
— Sneak the purple puree of spinach and blueberries in brownie mixes.
— For grilled cheese sandwiches, spread an orange puree of sweet potatoes and carrots between the bread and cheese before frying.
— Cook rice in antioxidant-rich green tea instead of water to seal in extra nutrients while boiling.
— Wrap burritos and other kid-friendly items in “fast food-like” paper such as aluminum foil or clear wrap.

I love the idea of the sweet potato and carrot puree on the grilled cheese sandwiches. Definitely going to try that one.
