DELİCIOUS AND APPEALING RECIPE FOR YOUR CHILDREN: CHICKEN AND CARROT BALLS

Some children do not like meat, while others may not enjoy vegetables. For children who are picky eaters, sometimes combining ingredients they reject with other foods and presenting them as a mix can be a great solution.

By trying recipes that combine both meat and vegetables, you can prepare different flavors for your child. If your child loves a certain vegetable or another flavor-enhancing ingredient, add that to your recipe to make it more appealing and attract their interest. For example, if your child loves cheese, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top of the meatballs during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to melt it, making the recipe even more enticing.

The chicken and carrot ball recipe is rich not only in protein but also in vitamins. The vitamin E, beta-carotene, and antioxidants in carrots are very beneficial for your child's eye health and immune system. Additionally, the apple, which is also rich in antioxidants and vitamins, helps protect the body from illnesses and boosts immunity. You can also add other vegetables to this recipe to make it more nutritious, based on your preferences.
