Gluten Free Recipe For Active Kids and Busy Adults


A person who has celiac disease shouldn’t have to sacrifice great quality food. In fact, there are so many palatable gluten free recipes available. This article will discuss a gluten free recipe for both kids and adults alike, since we develop different tastes in food as we grow up.

Breakfast is considered the most important part of the day because it improves mental clarity and energy levels. Children especially need to have breakfast everyday because they are still developing physically and mentally. Your kids are going to be in school for about 7 hours in a day and at least 5 days a week. Their activities range from listening, studying, playing and interacting socially. And for the celiac child, it is going to be a bit difficult to perform all these activities because of the chronic fatigue and upset stomach celiac disease causes.

The good news is your child can still benefit from a hearty American breakfast in the mornings. Try making a gluten free recipe for a breakfast casserole and smoothie for energy and nutrient replacement. A breakfast casserole basically consists of lightly cooked ground sausage or ham, part-skimmed mozzarella cheese, potatoes, margarine and seasonings to taste. This breakfast dish has enough calories to sustain energy and is packed with calcium to maintain strong bones. Try blitzing frozen raspberries, blueberries and other types of berries together with skimmed milk or non-fat yogurt for an immune-boosting drink.

A “healthy” dinner may sound like having soups, salads, and steamed fish—dishes children normally do not enjoy having. A gluten free recipe for the celiac child can be a satisfying steak. The gluten free recipe for steak is a good source of protein and iron. All you have to do is marinate the steak with garlic, ginger, vinegar, red pepper and onions. Next, grill the steak and serve with steamed carrots and spinach. Almost all meats are gluten free; just avoid most sauces and gravies, as they can contain gluten. Also, it’s a good idea to combine meats with vegetables for a well-balanced meal.

For a delectable dessert, serve your kids fruit Popsicles. Simply blend strawberries or other fruits with low-fat yogurt, and freeze overnight in paper cups. This is another gluten free recipe that is rich in calcium.

For celiac adults, meats can be good for us because they contain no gluten. However, we need a gluten free recipe that is lower in calorie content. We may be used to skipping breakfast in our rush to work, however, we do need a good lunch break to keep us going. The key here is to find a convenient gluten free recipe. Wraps are convenient and very easy to prepare for breakfast or lunch. All you need to do is heat gluten free wraps (like brown rice wraps) in a dry skillet and then stuff them with cheese and dark green leafy vegetables like spinach. You can also use an omelet or tofu with different salads and sprinkle with nuts or legumes for a high-protein meal.
