What's the best way to get picky
eaters to enjoy good-for-you foods? Get kids involved in preparing
meals and snacks. Experts agree that when children lend a hand
(or two) in meal preparation, they are much more likely to eat
what they're proud to have helped make.
One food that pleases even the
pickiest of eaters is California Raisins. Raisins are a family-favorite
snack and tasty addition to recipes that can help add to a child's
recommend fruit servings. Just 1/4 cup is a serving of fruit
for adults and children older than 4 years, which make raisins
a convenient and delicious way to add flavorful fruit to any
recipe.
 Start the day off right with a wholesome
breakfast of whole grain pancakes with California Raisins and
bananas topped with Cinnamon-Raisin Syrup. The batter for these
No-Mess Banana Nut Pancakes is made in a zip-top bag and is easily
mixed together by kids' own hands, with the advantage of letting
children have mess-free fun helping out in the kitchen.

 Or, for a tasty treat the whole family
will enjoy, bake up a batch of healthful Chewy Oatmeal Raisin
Cookies then have kids help squish low-fat ice cream between
the cookies for a yummy ice cream sandwich. For even more fruit
and fun, try rolling the edges of the ice cream sandwich in California
Raisins.
