Under 10 Minute Lunch Idea- Avocado Grilled Cheese has a powerhouse of nutrition for kids! Avocado is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that provide long-lasting energy for growing children. It’s also rich in vitamins C, E, and K, which support immunity and skin health, as well as potassium, which is essential for muscle function and growth. Cheese provides, calcium, healthy fats, protein and more!
Choosing the Right Ingredients:
To make an avocado grilled cheese that’s kid-friendly, start with whole-grain bread. Whole-grain options are usually softer, making them easier for little one’s to chew and rich in fiber, which aids digestion and keeps kids fuller for longer. For older kids you can swap for any type of bread you prefer, for example rye or sourdough bread. For the cheese, mild varieties like mozzarella, Colby Jack, or cheddar work well, as they melt beautifully and have a flavor profile that appeals to young taste buds. I usually like to use some shredded raw mild cheddar. When selecting avocados, choose ripe ones that are soft enough to mash but not overly mushy.
What you need:
A non-stick pan, I recommend using the Our Place non-toxic, made with no PFAS. Food always comes out perfect!
