Expertly designed CAVA kids bowls for picky eaters, active athletes, and every child in between.
Building a CAVA kids meal is an incredible opportunity to introduce children to whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Unlike traditional fast-food kids meals filled with fried foods and refined sugar, CAVA offers metabolic support for growing bodies.
Below are four expert-curated combinations designed to meet specific pediatric nutritional needs, whether you are managing a picky eater or fueling an athlete.
Familiar flavors, mild taste, no weird textures.
This combination avoids any spicy or overly complex Mediterranean flavors. The rice and chicken mirror standard kid-friendly fare, while hummus provides an interactive dipping element that kids love, adding healthy plant fats.
Maximize protein and complex carbs for active, growing kids.
At 25g of protein, this meal supports muscle development and provides incredible satiety. Lentils offer slow-burn energy perfect for after-school sports, avoiding the sugar crashes associated with standard fast food.
Maximum vitamins and fiber disguised as a fun meal.
Falafel acts as a fantastic 'nugget' substitute but is made entirely of chickpeas. Mixing roasted vegetables directly into the brown rice hides the texture while supercharging the vitamin and fiber content.
Keep sodium intake minimal while providing iron and zinc.
Restaurant food is notoriously high in sodium, which isn't ideal for small bodies. This combination utilizes the lowest sodium base and protein options, substituting salty dips with creamy, heart-healthy avocado to keep total sodium around 400mg.
