Happy Mini-Meal

⏱️ Cook Time: 30 mins

The “happy nuggets” are not your conventional fast food version as Alpha Food’s nuggets are free of cholesterol and trans-fat but with comparable protein content to the real ones. Befriend veggies by making a low-sodium and low-fat dipping sauce with green peas and vegan cheddar cheese, this helps kids to consume a serving of vegetables at the same time unknowingly! Sweet bite-sized cocoa energy ball also makes an irresistible treat.

Cooking Tips:

 

1. Apart from green peas, kale and broccoli can also be used to make vegetable mash.

2. Place a piece of baking sheet on a non-stick pan, put alpha nuggets on the sheet and heat over medium heat for 15 minutes if oven is not available. Or place frozen nuggets on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for approximately 1:10-1:40 minutes.
