This is a super good meal. Might want to have a bit more quantity though. You can have it cold or hot as well

Try replacing it with soured cream or natural yoghurt. Thanks for your question.

So I’m not in the age bracket ha but I made this for myself. It’s ok for a very light lunch. Nothing to write home about but it fills the gap when you’re hungry. I haven’t tested this on a child so maybe it would be more appealing to them.
