Down the Horizon

Healthy meal ideas for toddlers above 1y. old 🙂

1st day:

Breakfast> 2 scrambled eggs made on olive oil topped with shredded mozzarella or mild cheddar cheese. You can add chopped bread inside to “collect” the olive oil. On a side you can put cherry tomatoes, beetroot and cucumber cut in half. I also like to add some olives but previously desalinated in water. While you are preparing the breakfast, you can offer your child some warm milk or liquid yogurt *not the Greek one.

Snack> Before the bed you can make very easy brownie and offer it warm. In a large bowl break 2 eggs, add a pinch of salt, add cleaned and peeled dates *sukkari for example, then add 1 cup of pure cocoa powder, 1 cup of warm milk together with 20 g of pure butter, add some cashews, raisins or just put a cup of muesli that includes raisins and granola. If you don’t have muesli then just add a half cup of oats and any nuts that you currently have in your cupboard. Bake on 170 *C for only 10-15 min. Bon appetit!

Lunch> Fresh sea bream fillets cooked on a warm but not hot pan. Cook it on olive oil for a short time (10 min- 5min each side of the fillet) and squeeze that lemon over it! 🙂 Do not add any spice or salt. On a side prepare a small pot where you will cook quinoa seeds for 10-15 min. Also pour some lemon juice over it and this time add some celery salt.

Snack No.2> Squeezed orange juice *half the glass; one pear or apple

Dinner> russian pancakes/syrniki with a little bit of jam (no added sugar). If you want you don’t have to truly follow the recipe for proper syrniki, but rather do the following> mix 2 cups of cottage cheese *tvorog with 2 eggs and add 2 spoons of flour/ mix it all very, very well, then make many “plates”-like out of the mix. Fry them on a pan previously coated with butter. Top them with real honey or jam.

I hope this was straightforward enough 🙂
