20 April, 2018
When coming to kid’s food, I being a mother, become a kid of that age myself. Yes, I am a Mother thinking like a kid and focusing on nutrition as well. It’s important to cultivate healthy eating habits in children for their better physical, emotional and mental growth. This muffin is one of the healthy eating recipes for kids.
Kids, do you know why animated Minions love bananas? It is not only because of its taste but it is a healthy and nutritional fruit. Bananas give instant energy and kids love chocolates. That’s why it is called as Chunky (Chocolates) Monkey (as they love bananas) Muffin.
Chunky Monkey muffin is very nutritional as it contains protein, carbohydrate, soluble dietary fibre, vitamins & minerals, antioxidant rich dark chocolate and is further fortified with calcium rich Green yogurt. Everything in one go and kids will surely grab one and go for its taste!
