Due to a passing in the family a few years ago and my subsequent health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for years after the bereavement. Thank you for the opportunity.

Just trying to clear my Netgalley shelf of older content that I read but forgot to or didn't rate/review. Recommended this for parents of my younger students.

I picked up this book because there is always ideas needed in why and how to include healthy foods into kids diets . Reminder of choosing health over convenience in bite size chunks.

101 Healthiest Foods for Kids details different foods, their nutritional benefits and then suggestions on how to serve them. It is accompanied by tips for getting kids to eat them, which I can't really comment on because my three year old would eat anything I put on his plate. So this was more for me as a mum to broaden my horizon and try things that I don't always cook, introducing him to lots of different things. I learned about some vegetables such as Jicama that I didn't even know existed. I'm not sure if I'll ever find this in the UK, but now having read about it I'd definitely pick it up and give it a go if I did see it.

This is a book that kids could enjoy looking through too and perhaps pick out things they like themselves, learning what's healthy and why. It has 25 recipes to cook as well, I'd never thought of making cauliflower nuggets, for example.

Definitely a book you want in the kitchen whether you have a fussy eater, or just want to broaden your horizon and try out some new healthy recipes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids Eat by Sally Kuzemchak . This was an encyclopedia of healthy foods broken up into groups including: Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein Rich Foods, and Spices & Seasonings. The book starts with a quick introduction of how to eat healthy and how to get kids to eat healthy and then moves onto the foods. Each food is represented on a one or two page spread that starts with information on that food – nutritional value, ways to buy it, etc. It is very readable and information. Then some foods include recipes, “Try It” tips, tips on how to cut/prepare the food, or other questions and answers.

Each page includes a picture of the food, sometimes more than one which make the book look really nice. I enjoyed the recipes for Blueberry Banana “Ice Cream,” Make-Ahead Instant Oatmeal Packets, and many others. I also enjoyed the tips on cutting up fruits such as pomegranates and pineapples. At the end of the book are useful top ten lists such as: 10 Foods for Boosting Immunity, 10 Foods for Brain Building, and 10 Foods that Aren’t as Healthy as They Seem. The book then has a list of additional resources you can read and a really useable index with the ingredients, recipes, and other information all listed for easy reference.

Overall this is a great reference book that is easily readable and entertaining, but contains nothing really new or different.

Fun book. It was a pleasure to read. .

This is a wonderful cookbook with great recipes as well as nutritional information. Another helpful part of this book is how details about the foods with nutritional value and the best way to store and cook them is included. The tips are delightful with advice for children on healthy eating too. It is nice to have new ideas. It is also wonderfully organized, which I love! It has ideas that are interesting in finding different ways of eating healthy. Matthew and Jackson prefer raw fruits and veggies to cooked. There are recipes perfect for all times of day. These recipes are fantastic for kids, of course, but you’ll like them too from the smoothies to veggie chips they are yummy for the whole family, including the little ones have some options to adore. You’ll find recipes for protein-rich foods as well as veggies, grains and fruits. Also included are beautiful photos with the well-written recipes.

I loved this book. As a family practice provider I am always looking for ways to recommend fruits/vegetables and healthy cooking into my patients' diets, and as a mother I struggle with keeping food fun. This book is a great reference for any parent on how to help their children enjoy eating as well as keeping it healthy. Definitely a great book that I will be recommending.

101 Healthiest Foods for Kids gives a lot of good ideas for food that kids will be excited about and enjoy. There is a good variety, so everyone can find something to like.

This book is jam-packed with information and recipes. It is good for adults and kids alike. I actually read a lot about things I was not aware of. Good information about healthy eating that everyone needs to know. Kind of a beginner on nutrition. And the recipes are yummy as well. I highly recommend this book for everyone!

I was beyond excited to get an ARC of this book from NetGalley, so it was pretty disappointing to not like it in the end. 

Maybe I didn't find this book as useful because I've been able to read other books on helping kids become healthy eaters, but this book wasn't helpful at all. Most of the tips seemed like common sense. Or else just not...useful.  There weren't as many recipes as I thought there would be, recipes that show unique ways to hide tough food, but there really wasn't that many. I think I found one in the entire book that I thought was useful. Also my ARC seemed to have a couple of strange blank pages that looked like parts of the text was just missing.

I did like that the author broke down exactly how many servings of veggies and fruit and other foods a kid needs in a day, for each age group as well.  That and the one recipe I found are the reason I didn't give the book 1 star.  
There are other more helpful books in the area that you can read, I don't recommend this one.

Good ideas for feeding kids. Interesting and fun recipes for getting kids to eat healthy. Good read.

4☆ very informative

I really enjoyed learning all about the different healthy food items. I also learnt a few new items that I had never heard of before, for example, Jicama and Kohlrabi.

I really liked that it wasn't just a book full of healthy food, it was informative. It was nice to know the health benefits, vitamins, minerals etc.. Each item contained as it gave you a better understanding what you was eating. Not just for children but adults too.

This was a nice book you could read with children too. They can look at the pictures and learn not to be scared of trying new food.
There are many educational extension activities you can do with this book. For example.... food tasting, a bingo card where you visit shops and Mark off the food items when you find them in the shops, vegetable and fruit painting,cooking with new foods.
I would love to see this book used in schools, to help teach children all about new food.

The content was split into the following Chapters :-
In each section the food source was listed in Alphabetical order,
* Vegetables
* Fruits
* Grains
* Protein- Rich Foods
* Spices & Seasoning

There was a picture of the food item then a detailed but brief explanation of the health benefits, either tips and tricks or a brief recipie idea. Ie, Brussel Sprouts.... recipe..... Cheesy Brussel Sprouts Chips.
Or
Cauliflower ..... recipe..... Cauliflower Nuggets

Overall 101 healthiest Foods For Kids, is a fun and informative book for adults and children to read, it's clear, concise and is illustrated perfectly.
I would of loved to have seen more recipes but that's just because I adore cook books.

If you are looking for a healthy read that you can enjoy with your children then give this book a try.

'Never stop trying. Yout kids (and their health) are worth it'.

Sally Kuzemchak writes from the double position as a parent and nutritionist, introducing more or less known - like jicama, for example, foods (101, to be exact) that are recommended for children - but for adults too. The book consists of short presentations, accompanied by pictures and some pearls of wisdom based on scientific facts versus various common - and not necessarily reliable - information.

Although personally I would have expected a little bit more recipes, preferably a bit complex too, the book is relatively easy to read, packed with important details about each food - veggies, fruits, grains and other foods such as eggs, honey or milk - and some simple photography. It covers a big range of issues, including various diseases, intolerances and allergies, as well as latest certified trends in the field of nutrition. Although it is basically aimed at parents by offering a variety of suggestions and information about a big list of foods, the information is equally useful for the adult preoccupied by a healthier lifestyle and menu. I liked that there are no exagerations and extreme opinions, pseudo-science and myths, but purely explanations, facts and once in a while a recipe too (at least one caught my eyes and would love to test it hopefully soon).

Although a lot of pieces of information in this book were good reminders that I had already known before, it was nice to see what nutrients kids can get from these foods and to be challenged to try new things. I like the organization of the book as well. The book also gave some suggestions for ways to prepare foods that I had not tried before.

Lots of ideas for foods to introduce with kids with ideas on how to prepare them. I would have loved a few more recipes but still a great book and one I will probably buy.

This is THE book for every parents or educator who is trying to make the little kids eat better, especially eat more veggies because that is really important! This book not only give you ideas how to keep veggies (and other foods, not just veggies) simple and enjoyable, but also talks about the nutrients and why it's good.

I love the rules in this book - especially the flexibility and the never give up, but don't force the kid!

And I admit, I was craving veggies while reading this book!

101 healthiest foods for kids is a family-friendly guide that includes tips and tricks for getting kids to try new foods and make healthy choices, plus answers questions that parents may have about protein or multivitamins.

This book covers fruits and veggies, whole grains and protein-rich foods, providing 101 full profiles the different foods. Also included are 25 quick and easy recipes you can make with the children.

Its an easy-to-read guide and covers children up to the age of 18, providing in age groups the amount a child should be eating. Whilst this book is primarily for the Americans, as its measured in cups and uses American terms for food names, the information included with each food is very useful, even to adults wanting to know the nutritional values for their own diets.

The book includes plenty of colour photography and is in imperial plus metric measurements in the recipes, though as already said the amount per child is only in cup measurements.

It certainly is true as the author mentions that children sometimes pick food out of a meal, but overtime they start eating it - I used to have onion rejected in spaghetti bowl - now the plate is clean, though I need to work on the courgette still!

I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review.

This book was interesting and full of very good ideas. As a parent you can struggle for new ideas. This book takes that thinking away.

Author, blogger, columnist, and dietitian, Sally Kuzemchak, has outdone herself with her book, 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids: Eat the Best, Feel the Greatest--Healthy Foods for Kids, and Recipes Too!. This is a book that anyone with kids needs to have on their book shelf. It is interesting and good reading for others, as well.

While the book is geared to nutrition for children, the information is definitely applicable to everyone, and is good, educational information for all of us who prepare meals. Kuzemchak presents facts on foods in organized and well-written prose. There are several hints on helping children avoid the “picky eater” syndrome (these may also work for stubborn adults), and the information on each food is timely and useful for anyone who plans to eat in today’s world.

Although there aren’t many recipes, the ones included in the book are easy and are fun to prepare with children, who will be excited to be cooking and also eating what they make. Every recipe tried so far turned out perfectly, and the instructions were easy to follow. Incidentally, the recipes aren’t just for kids; adults like them too. Most of the foods and recipes are photographed, so if children look through the book, they can choose things they want to eat.

All told, 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids: Eat the Best, Feel the Greatest--Healthy Foods for Kids, and Recipes Too! is an excellent reference book, as well as cookbook. It’s perfect for a baby shower gift, or a gift for parents with young children. However, those who have grown children or no children will also benefit from the information that is included in the book since it is relevant for anyone who eats. Highly recommended.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
