It’s almost 2014 and I know a lot of families are looking to eat healthier. I looked around at our contributor’s blogs and found some great super foods recipes that parents and kids will love. So, get ready to start fresh, discover some new foods and be ready to be healthy in 2014!
Super foods can come in many shapes and forms. The recipes below contain ingredients such as kale, sweet potatoes, eggs, quinoa, coconut, berries, avocados and more. You know, all of those super foods that you keep reading about in magazines or seeing on TV shows like Dr. Oz. These recipes provide you with an easy way to incorporate those super foods that are good for you in so many ways. A few of them, like the Cheesy Butternut Squash Pasta Bake can be doubled and frozen to make for an easy meal at a later date. Strawberry Mango Salsa can be made in bulk for a few days worth of easy breakfast. We even snuck in a chocolate waffles recipe because cocoa is often listed among the super foods.

What are you planning to make first out of these super foods recipes?
Because we like to share, we are linking up with: Frugal Days, Sustainable Ways, Motivation Monday, Fluster’s Creative Muster
What great ideas! I need to be motivated with feeding my kids well again!
There are some good allergy friendly ones in here too, Carrie.
Love this round up. I think my children have been surviving on cookies and candy canes since Thanksgiving.
There are some great ones to double the recipe and freeze for busy nights.
Thanks for sharing these recipes! I wonder which ones my finicky eaters will like best?? 🙂
Let us know which ones are a hit!
My daughter loves to help cook right now. I will have to look through your links!
I hope she finds one to enjoy!

Let us know what you make, Lindsey!
My 10 year old son just asked me to make mashed sweet potatoes so that’s first on our list. The oven roasted potatoes, carrots, and kale looks good, too.
Mashed sweet potatoes are a huge hit in our house.
THANK YOU for this!!! We are definitely in an eating rut and I’m afraid I’m grooming my kids to not like varied food. I’m going to be trying some of these recipes out for sure. Thanks again!
I hope that they like them, Carrie!
Just wanted to let you know the link for sweet potato stew is incorrect. Going to google for it now!
Thanks for catching that!
