Dessert Recipe For Kids: Lychee Compote

At first, I wanted to try cocktail but since my kids are keen in trying it, I decided to make Lychee Compote from the can which was quicker and tastier for them.

 

If you are planning for a nutritious beverage for your party guests who are young children, Lychee COmpote is the best solution rather than carbonated drinks or fruit juice from the bottles.

 

Most children love fruit juice but the syrup from can fruits are usually high in sugar, sucrose with additional artificial flavoring .

 

Hence, I did remove half of the original syrup from the can, replace the remainder with water instead.

 

Bring to boil both the pineaple syrup and water together, you will have a less sweeten juice that is suitable for children.

 

I am sure you wouldn’t want your guests to consume too much sugary drinks which is bad for them, right?

 

Lychee compote what is it alike

 

It is alike a cup of fruit juice with assorted fruits that you can drink and eat at the same time.

 

A lovely quick dessert beverage that is nutritious and delicious of sweet tooth children and adults too.

 

Once you sink your teeth into the juicy lychees, bursting with flavors, you wouldn’t want to drink carbonated drinks again.

 

The natural sweetness of the lychees, blended well with dried apricots and mangoes.

 

These dried fruits give you the chewy bites that you will ask for more.

 

Prunes are beneficial for your child bowel movement.

 

These black colored fruit provide sufficient fibres to your child’s digestive system.

 

The first sign you can see is smooth bowel movements because prunes helps to soften the waste, enable it to travel into the transverse colon smoothly.

 

With all the fibers and nutrients packed in one delicious bowl of Lychee Compote, why substitute it with unheealthy beverages, right?

 

How to prepare Pineapple Syrup or Juice

 

You can either buy a small fresh pineapple or get 6 slices from a can of pineapple juice.

 

If you planned to buy a fresh pineapple, use the remainder pinepple flesh to blend out pineapple juice for the compote.

 

If you planned to buy a can of pineapple with juice, remember to use only 125ml of the syrup and mix with the remainder 125ml with plain water.

 

The syrup from the can is highly sweeten with sugar which is not suitable for children.

 

Mix it with water in order to dilute the sweeten flavor.

    • Will never forget the first time I tasted lychee. First of all, I was attracted to it because it's my favorite color but when I taste it? I was very happy! :)

    • When I was growing up my favorite time of the day is when I got to get a yummy treat.

      Kids love when that get treats it excited them.especially if they get to help make them. And I'm sure you remember growing up it was so much fun to get to help make treats.

      I always enjoyed when I got to help make cakes and pies, best part was when I got to lick the bowl the mixture was made in.
      Ain't nothing like spending time in the kitchen with the family getting all creative.
      My favorites were ice cream cakes(we did ours a lil different) and kool-aid pies.

      Both of these were really fun to make. There really yummy too.

      Here's how we made our ice cream cakes.
      -BOX OF ICE CREAM SANDWHICHES
      - VANILLA BESN ICE CREAM
      - WHIPPED CREAM
      - CHOCHLATE SYRPT

      + Place two rows of ice cream SANDWHICHES down 3 in each row layer some vanilla ice cream on top shape it up put two more rows of ice cream SANDWHICHES layer with wip cream then drizzel some CHOCHLATE SYRPT on top.

      (Make in a cake plate that can be placed in freezer)

      you can also make cake is big as you want just use more ingredients.

      ORANGE SHERBET KOOL-AID PIE

      +2 packs of orange kool-aid
      +1cup of sugar
      +1 12oz wip cream
      + 1 pie crust

      Blend KOOL-AID,wipe cream and sugar together place mixture in pie crust.

    • Ancient Chinese legend has it that dedication to the health benefits of lychee prompted consumption of several hundred lychees per day. The results of this practice aren't reported. But there is medical proof that lychees can relieve coughing, ease abdominal pain, and have a positive effect on tumors and swollen glands. The seeds are prescribed for testicular inflammation and neuralgia pain.

      Tea made from lychee peelings is said to cure smallpox and diarrhea. In India, the seeds are ground to make tea for stomach trouble. Parts of the bark, root, and lychee flowers are gargled for sore throat.

      Lychee is rich in dietary fiber to help maintain optimum regularity and a healthy weight. One of this fruit's most plentiful and unique nutrients is oligonol, which contains a number of valuable antioxidants with the ability to fight flu viruses, improve blood flow, and protect the skin from UV rays.

      Lychee is loaded with vitamin C, providing 119% of the recommended daily value in one serving. This further protects against colds and other infections, helps the body develop resistance, and fights inflammation.

      Other nutritive ingredients in lychee include high levels of B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, as well as potassium (which helps help control heart rate and blood pressure and stave off strokes and heart disease), thiamin, niacin, folate, and copper (which produces red blood cells, maintains healthy bones, prevents thyroid problems, and anemia). All these are vital for maintaining carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolization.

      However, consume lychees in moderation because they contain fructose, which may be harmful to your health in excessive amounts.
