Teenagers have erratic eating habits but at the same time, they need the most care in terms of their diet & nutrient intake. While their bodies are still growing & developing, they need a host of essential micro & macronutrients to sustain that growth & development like carbohydrates, proteins, unsaturated healthy fats, iron, calcium & others. Some of the superfoods that can turn out to be essential for Teenagers are as follows:

1. Yoghurt with Nuts:
Low Fat Yoghurt is a rich source of calcium which is essential for the growth of bones & hair. While yoghurt in its regular form is the best, teenagers can be given frozen yoghurt for being more palatable & an alternative to ice cream. In this frozen yoghurt, you can also add nuts like walnuts, cashews, and almonds for their high amounts of zinc, iron, magnesium and unsaturated fats.

2. Peanut Butter:
Peanuts like other nuts are high in unsaturated fats & provide calories that teenagers need at their age & activity levels. Peanut butter gives a good dose of protein & is packed with iron as well. So a good spread of peanut butter on a slice of bread or a cracker or a slice of apple can do wonders.

3. Whole Wheat Pasta with Tangy Tomato Sauce :

magnesium.
