I am always looking for quick, easy, and healthy recipes, especially ones that my children can make (without destroying the kitchen). This just isn’t a recipe for kids with ADHD, for anyone wanting to eat clean but still feel like they are having a sweet treat.
Here is one that my kids have made and love from Eat Good For Life. With only 4 ingredients it’s pretty simple for kids and adults. The writer is a clinical dietitian originally from Spain and has a lot of great recipes, make sure you check her out.
