What nutrient-dense foods would be appropriate to serve as “desserts” in children’s meals?

What will be an ideal response?


Desserts should consist of nutritious (nutrient-dense) foods that are planned as part of the meal, not as a sweet reward for a clean plate. Fresh fruits and fruit sorbets, whole grain baked products, and milk-based items such as frozen yogurt or yogurt “sundaes” add essential nutrients to children’s diets.
