Encourage kids to participate in back-to-school preparations by giving them the opportunity to create their own menu. Kids like to be involved in the decision-making process, and it's even more exciting for them when they can do it easily through an app or website. Introduce them to the features of Cookidoo® and let them choose from the following options:
• Have them create a weekly plan in "My Week". They can choose recipes for lunch, snacks or dinner and organize their meal plan accordingly.
• Let them create a personalized collection in "My Recipes" with their name, such as "David's Back-to-School Favorites."
• Allow them to make a "back-to-school shopping list" to ensure they have everything they need for the upcoming school days using the shopping list feature.
• Yogurts: Prepare a batch to last the week.
• Pancakes or waffles: Make a batch and freeze for later.
• Bread, muffins and biscuits: Bake a fresh supply for the week.
• Granola and energy bars: Prepare homemade versions for healthy snacking.
• Alternative milks: Try almond, soy, hazelnut, or other plant-based options.
Some simple ideas make kids happy and are healthy options. Just use a fun or colorful element and that’s pretty much it!
• Fruit skewers (grapes, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple - with a gummy bear popped onto the end for extra fun!)
• Chicken and Cheddar Meatballs
• Vegetable sticks with Apple Dip
• Wraps with ham and cheese
• Pancake sandwich with peanut butter or Hazelnut Spread
