Healthy Snacking: Protein-Rich Raspberry Brownies
Teri Cochrane on
Looking for the perfect healthy back-to-school recipe to make for your kids? Satisfy their sweet tooth (and yours!) with these protein-packed and oh-so-delicious brownies that are the perfect nutrient dense treat to pack in your kids’ lunch box!
It’s so important to make sure our kids are getting all the nutrients their bodies need during their busy days at school, especially to keep their learning game on. Proper nutrition is linked to cognitive development, including memory, attention, problem-solving, and learning abilities. Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, and various vitamins play a role in brain development and function.
Instead of all the refined sugars and processed ingredients in a lot of our foods, try making these homemade protein-rich raspberry brownies as a perfect nutrient-packed alternative that your kids will love.
To get your kids more involved with the foods they are eating, encourage them to get in the kitchen to help make this recipe with you! This will help with their understanding of knowing the importance of properly nourishing their bodies.
Happy baking!
