  1. Protein - Peas
  2. Carbohydrates - Poha
  3. Fruits - Papaya and Pomegranate
  4. Vegetables / Snacks - Peas
Poha is rich in iron and a good source of carbohydrates. This was a simple preparation:

Wash thick poha in water and set aside. In a hot wok, take a tablespoon of oil, add cumin and mustard seeds. Next add finely chopped onions and curry leaves. Add washed frozen peas. Sauté till the onions are translucent. Add a pinch of turmeric and add the poha and salt. Quickly sauté for 3-4 minutes and it's ready! Sprinkle coriander on top. 

Papaya is a great food for kids, rich in vitamin A and C. It improves immunity and aids in digestion.

Pomegranate is a good source of fibre, vitamins K, C and B9, potassium, and antioxidants.
