There are many easy ways you can help your child with cystic fibrosis add healthy calories and healthy fats to their diets. Here are three of our favorites!
- Peanut butter: There are so many ways to eat peanut butter: in a sandwich, on toast, on crackers and — our favorite! — in oatmeal. Oatmeal is a fiber-rich food, and peanut butter will add flavor and creamy texture once melted. (1 tablespoon of peanut butter provides about 100 calories.)
- Olive oil: Have you ever gone to a restaurant that serves delicious breads like focaccia accompanied by olive oil that has been seasoned with parmesan cheese? It’s a delicious and easy way to get calories and enjoy a great combination of foods and bold flavors. Olive oil can also be used in cooking to add extra calories. (1 tablespoon of olive oil provides about 120 calories.)
