Sample of Kid-Friendly Restaurant Menu

Even McDonalds is offering healthier options in their happy meals, including milk instead of soda and apple dippers in lieu of French fries. To help you revamp your own kid's menu, here is a kid-friendly restaurant menu that balances popular kids’ foods with nutritious alternatives that parents will appreciate.

Entrees & Salads

All meals come with a choice of beverage choice of milk or juice
