\u00a0Frequent snacking is a part of
\ngrowing up, and it is easy for kids to get drawn towards attractive packaging
\nand enticing advertisements. Therefore, it comes down to our shoulders as
\nmothers to save our munchkins from <\/span>unhealthy
\nkid snacks <\/b>that claim to be loaded with nutrients. Let’s discover 10
\ncommonly consumed <\/span>unhealthy foods for
\nkids<\/b> and their healthy alternatives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10 Shocking Unhealthy Kid Snacks and their effect on children’s
\nhealth<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Children often love to munch on
\nsmaller meals in the form of sugary delights and popular kid snacks. However,
\nmost of these popular favorite brands contain harmful ingredients, like sugar,
\nsodium, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, unhealthy fats, and more.
\nDespite their questionable ingredients, these snacks have become a staple in
\nevery household. Here is a list of 10 such shockingly unhealthy kids\u2019 snacks<\/b> and their harmful effects on children\u2019s
\nhealth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chips and Fries<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

These deep-fried finger delights
\nare everyone’s favorite. However, they are often loaded with salt and
\ntrans-fats. Regular consumption of these snacks can raise bad cholesterol,
\ncause obesity, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and even respiratory disorders.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chocolate Milk<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Many parents try to encourage
\nmilk consumption by adding hot chocolate or chocolate powder. I have been guilty of this too! However, this can
\nincrease their preference for sweet flavors and suppresses any health benefits
\nof consuming raw milk. In addition, chocolate milk can spike blood sugar levels within minutes. Furthermore, packaged milk is often laced with hormones that are
\nnot safe for kids and may cause PCOD and premature periods among young girls.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Doughnuts<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

No matter how tempting they
\nseem, these dollops of bread glazed with chocolate, cream, and toppings are
\nhighly dangerous for kids’ health. Doughnuts are loaded with food additives,
\nartificial flavours, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and processed sugar.
\nFrequent consumption of food additives like monosodium glutamate or MSG can
\ncause obesity, headache, tissue damage, and even cancer.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Butter, Jam, and Cheese<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Ever imagine consuming a piece
\nof bread without a spread of butter or jam? I bet your kids will love a
\nspoonful of cheese with a grilled sandwich, won\u2019t they? Although they sound
\nlike breakfast staples, butter, jam, and cheese contain saturated fats, preservatives,
\nand chemical pollutants, posing damaging and lasting health effects for kids. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Candies and Lollipops<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Who can turn down these sugary
\ndelights filled with artificial coloring, flavors, and loads of sugar? Trust
\nme, these gums, candies, and lollipops have zero nutritional value. Daily
\nconsumption of such sugary treats can cause cavities, plaques, and other severe
\ndental issues in kids. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Popcorn<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"ready<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Do you know that ready-to-cook popcorn packs are actually unhealthy?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Be it a movie night or a weekend
\nday out, popcorn flavoured with cheese, caramel, and salt is a must-have for my
\nkids. The ready-to-make packets have made it even easier to prepare them
\ninstantly and pack them along.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, the popcorn loaded with cheese, butter, etc, has reduced health benefits as compared to simple ones. In fact, the added salt, sugar, or butter simply increase fats and calories that are not needed by children.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, often considered a healthy alternative, these
\nmunchies are considered an unhealthy
\nfood for toddlers and kids under 5 years\u00a0<\/b>because they can pose choking hazards when they enter the
\nwindpipe and dental issues when they stick to the teeth and gums. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pastries, Cakes, and Cookies<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Most of these baked delights are
\nprepared with refined flour, refined sugar, and added fats. Despite their
\ntantalizing flavors, store-bought pastries, cakes, and cookies provide no
\nessential nutrients. Moreover, they are loaded with calories and preservatives,
\nposing long-term health hazards. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fried, Broiled, and Grilled
\nFoods<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Despite their palatable
\nflavours, foods like pasta, pizza, burgers, and veg patties contain lots of
\ncalories and unhealthy fats. Moreover, cooking under high temperatures releases
\nunhealthy chemicals in these snacks, increasing the risk of heart disease and
\ncancer in kids. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fruity Snacks<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The word fruit on any box works
\nas a spell, screaming healthy. However, most of the fruity snacks are prepared
\nusing corn syrup, artificial colors, food coloring, and artificial flavors.
\nAlthough they may taste like a favourite fruit to your kids, they have no trace
\nof fruit in them. Plus, they are loaded with preservatives that may cause
\nobesity, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar when consumed for long
\nperiods. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sweetened Yogurt And Canned
\nDrinks<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

How come yogurt is an unhealthy food for preschoolers<\/b>?
\nBelieve it or not, even sweetened yogurt is loaded with artificial flavors,
\nsugar, and preservatives to mask all its benefits and categorize it as
\nunhealthy. Likewise, canned drinks are a health hazard for kids, and their
\nlong-term consumption can deteriorate tooth enamel, cause dental issues,
\nobesity, and even severe digestive issues in kids.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy Alternatives to Unhealthy Kids’ Foods<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Now you must be thinking, \u201cMy
\nkids are crazy about these snacks! How shall I stop them from taking any of
\nthese?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This struggle is obvious for every mom! But here is the kicker. We do
\nnot have to stop our kids from having snacks; we just need to replace the
\nunhealthy ones with healthier alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What! Is it even possible?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well,
\nthe answer is yes!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these snacks can be
\nprepared at home to give a healthier alternative to kids. For example, replace
\nfries and chips with home-baked potato chips and crackers. Replace chocolate
\npowder with homemade protein powder, which not only enhances the taste of milk
\nbut also strengthens the mind and body.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Replace aerated drinks with lemonade,
\ncoconut water, or freshly prepared fruit smoothies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some delicious
\nhomemade snacks to substitute for unhealthy junk items:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Roasted Makhana or Gur Makhana <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Makhanas<\/a> are a rich source of
\ncalcium and protein with a low-calorie index. You can prepare them sweet or
\nsalty, depending on the flavour your child prefers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"makahana<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n



<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Roasted Makhana Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – Toast the makhanas in ghee until crisp. Add salt,
\nblack pepper, and chaat masala to enhance the tangy flavour.\u00a0 Serve whenever your kids crave deep-fried
\nchips. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Crispy Gur Makhana Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – My kids love this recipe. To
\nprepare gur makhana, dry roast fox nuts in a skillet until they are crisp.
\nKeep them aside and add 1 teaspoon of ghee and jaggery to the skillet. Let it
\nmelt and switch off the flame. Add roasted makhanas and give a good stir so
\nthat the faux nuts are coated with a layer of melted jaggery.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sprinkle some
\nwhite sesame seeds on top. Separate the makhanas before serving, as they may
\nstick together because of the jaggery. This recipe takes only five minutes to
\nprepare, and your kids will crave more of it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jaggery Ladoos <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Replace the sugar-filled candies
\nwith delicious jaggery ladoos. Add oats and a variety of nuts to make them
\nhealthier. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"healthy<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Homemade dry fruits laddoos are way better than unhealthy pastries and candies!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – Individually dry roast nuts like almonds, cashews,
\npistachios, and walnuts. Keep aside to cool. Dry roast seeds like melon seeds,
\nflax seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. Add to the nuts. Dry roast
\nmakhanas, peanuts, and oats. Keep aside to cool.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once everything is cool
\nenough. Add them to a blender and prepare a fine powder. Add a teaspoon of ghee
\nwith some jaggery in a skillet. Once it melts, switch off the flame and add the
\npowdered ingredients. Once everything is mixed, prepare small ball-sized
\nladoos.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sprouted Moong Salad<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

This one is easy to prepare,
\ntasty, and healthy at the same time. Add your kids’ favourite veggies to
\nsprouted moong. Top up with pomegranate, lemon, and chaat masala for a tangy
\ntwist. You can even fill it inside bread to prepare sandwiches served with homemade
\nketchup, dips, or chutneys. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Homemade Dips (Chutneys) And
\nKetchups<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

There are a variety of recipes
\nwhen it comes to homemade chutneys. You can prepare them sweet or salty,
\ndepending on the taste preference of your kids. Traditional green chutney
\nprepared with onion, coriander, mint, and spices is a no-fail companion for homemade
\nfritters. My kids favour a pinch of sweetness, so I prepare a sweeter version
\nwith tomatoes, coriander, spices, and a hint of sugar. Here is a quick recipe
\nfor homemade tomato ketchup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – Put a thick-bottomed cooker or crock-pot on the stove. Add
\ndiced tomatoes, water, cloves, mustard powder, ground black pepper, and salt to
\ntaste. You can also add onion and garlic powder to enhance flavors. Stir
\nfrequently and cook until the mixture acquires a thick consistency. Blend and
\nstrain the mixture, and your homemade ketchup is ready to be served. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Homemade Mango Fruity<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

You heard me right! You can
\nactually prepare mango fruit juice at home, and I bet your kids won\u2019t be able to tell
\nany difference. Here is a quick recipe for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"homemade<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Make mango fruit juice at home, just like packaged juice, but healthy!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – Take ripe and raw mangoes in the ratio 2:1. That means for
\ntwo cups of chopped ripe mangoes, you will need 1 cup of chopped raw mango.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Put
\na pan on the stove and add the mango slices. Add 1 \u00bd cups of water and cook
\nover medium flame until the mango turns soft and pulpy. Once the mixture cools,
\ntransfer and blend it to a smooth consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sieve through a strainer.
\nPrepare sugar syrup by mixing 1 \u00bd cup of sugar in 1 \u00bd cup of boiling water.
\nCombine the cooled, clear syrup with the strained mango pulp. Add cold water as
\nneeded to adjust the taste and consistency.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10 Minutes Layered Coffee Cake<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

If your kids crave chocolates
\nlike mine, I bet you will love this coffee cake recipe that tastes even better
\nthan chocolate. The best part is that it can be prepared with simple
\ningredients in no time. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"layered<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n



<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recipe<\/b><\/span><\/i> – Mix 2 \u00bd teaspoons of coffee powder in 1 teaspoon of hot
\nwater. Add \u00bd cup powdered sugar and \u00bc cup refined oil to a mixing bowl or
\nblender. Once they are well combined, add 1 cup sieved wheat flour and 1 \u00bc
\nteaspoons baking powder.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next, add milk bit by bit until everything is well
\ncombined and the batter attains ribbon consistency. Divide into two parts. Add
\nthe coffee powder mix in one part.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next, grease a baking container with oil and
\nline its bottom with butter paper. Now, keep adding two tablespoons of the cake
\nmix from each part, alternately, in the middle of the greased container.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You will
\nsee layers of two colors being formed. Once all the batter is added to the
\ncontainer, microwave it for 8 minutes. Your fluffy cake will be ready to serve
\nin just 8 minutes. In case, you don’t have a microwave, you can also cook it on the stove
\nin a preheated skillet. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Swap unhealthy choices with
\nthese healthy replacements to make snack time fun and provide added nutrition
\nat the same time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
