How Can Parents Encourage the Consumption of Complex Carbohydrates?
Here are some strategies to encourage children to eat more complex carbohydrates:
Incorporate whole grains into meals, such as using whole grain bread for sandwiches or oatmeal for breakfast. Include a variety of colorful vegetables in different forms, such as raw, steamed, or roasted. Offer legumes in soups, stews, or salads. Make fruits readily available as snacks. Get creative with recipes, such as making smoothies that include whole grains and vegetables.
