Your kids need to increase their fiber intake, but you don’t know how to do it? according to the Ministry of Health, 9 out of 10 children in Indonesia don’t consume enough fiber. This stemmed from the fact that Indonesian children aren’t used to eating fiber sources like vegetables dan fruits.

Fiber isn’t only important to keep their digestive system healthy. But it also plays a major role in boosting their immune system, so they don’t get sick easily.

Here are 5 ways to increase your kids’ fiber intake

This becomes every parent’s job to help their kids increase their fiber intake. No idea how? Don’t worry. Read this article and find out the 5 tricks to do it.

1. Serve fruits and vegetables as a snack

Cut vegetables and fruits into bite size pieces, then serve them as a snack along with dipping sauce like mayonnaise, thousand islands, yogurt, or salad dressing to enrich the flavor.

If your little ones don’t really like fresh vegetables or fruits, turn them into crispy chips by popping them into an oven or dehydrator. Children, especially those who are used to store-bought packaged snacks, will likely love the crispy texture.

2. Blend the fruits and vegetables

Aside from being dehydrated, fresh fruits and vegetables can also be blended into smoothie bowls. Add sugar or honey to give it the sweet flavor that children will like. Remember to not add sugar excessively, as it may cause a sugar rush in kids. Additionally, too much sugar will increase your kids’ risk of getting obesity and type-2 diabetes.

3. Sneak vegetables into their favorite food

Do your kids love fast food like burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches or kebabs? You can add extra tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce to these dishes.

If your kids hate the texture of vegetables, you can try hiding them into their favorite food. You can cut vegetables into very small pieces, then mix them into the mixture of meatballs, dumplings, nuggets, or burger patties.

4. Choose cereals, biscuits, or breads from whole wheat

Kids love these types of food. While they are usually marketed as healthy products, not all are beneficial for the health. To get the benefits, choose cereals, biscuits, bread, or pasta made with whole wheat or whole grain.

Aside from the main ingredients, pay close attention too to other ingredients and the nutritional facts. Typically, cereals and biscuits are made with a lot of sugar. So, choose their low-sugar counterparts.
