My kids love Oatmeal, add in some cinnamon and sliced bananas or applesauce, they eat it up. Youngest one refused to eat it with a spoon, the spoon doesn?t hold enough food for him, he just loves it and shoves it in.

Scramble some eggs, add a little whole milk and cheese, toss in a side of toast with jam on it. Any mixture of fruits with soft granola bars.

Young kids don?t like fruit? If you have it in the fridge then bring it to room temp, or the reverse. The temperature of fruit changes it taste, tanginess, and so on.

Kids don?t like veggies, then spice them up. Sometimes the bland taste turns them away. So a small amount of butter, and a small amount of pepper or other mild spices, just don?t over do it and make sure it?s mixed well. The small spice taste makes a huge difference. Steaming vs cooking in water, much healthier and it preserves the taste better, takes about the same amount of time to make.

Health for kids is simple. Give them as little packaged or pre-made food as possible. (lunchables, fast food, canned soups, and soda is bad) Moreless, homemade food is always healthier, even if it isn?t a perfect meal. Just use less butter, fats, salt, and a little to no fried foods. Other than go wild kids love all kinds of stuff and opening them up to a mixture of GOOD foods will allow them to enjoy really good food later in life.
