Heidi Powell makes a kid-friendly favorite without the wheat.
We start every week right with a little bit of help from personal trainer Heidi Powell, and today, she?s sharing one of her favorite gluten-free dinner recipes. Whether or not you?re celiac, recent studies have suggested that it is beneficial for?everyone?to give up gluten (the reasoning is, we?re all slightly intolerant and just don?t know it). But we?re not all Gwyneth Paltrow?it?s hard to make kids eat super healthy foods regularly when they have their own, often picky tastes. Luckily, Heidi Powell?s chicken fingers recipe gives a healthy, gluten-free spin on a classic child favorite.
?A gluten-free lifestyle doesn?t mean boring!? Heidi tells us. ?Your kids (and you) can still enjoy old-fashioned chicken strips, sans the gluten?and?the fat.? Sound unreal? It?s not! Get the recipe below.
