Healthy Recipes for Kids

Camp Pocono Trails teaches kids about nutrition from a holistic view that, instead of encouraging diets, encourages healthy substitutions and eating from the entire food pyramid. Every meal at camp encompasses multiple food groups and promotes weight loss, but sometimes it’s easy to fall back to a junk and frozen food routine once campers return home. To help our camper’s stay on the best path to a healthy eating we’ve compiled a list of five recipes for each meal that are kid and family friendly and healthy! Plus, visit the Camp Pocono Trails’ blog on healthy recipes for kids for more nutritious meal ideas!

Healthy Dinner Recipes

• Light Fettuccine Alfredo – instead of whipping cream, use skim milk; and use margarine instead of butter
• Savory Roasted Cod – A mild fish that can help introduce seafood to the meal routine
• Easy Veggie Fajitas – A delicious way to fill a plate with vegetables
