[quote=Anonymous]We bought maybe 20 different brand protein bars and did a big taste test and my child picked one that they like.

I think it's a lot of trial and error to find something that are like other things they like.  I've made crepes out of chickpea powder for instance, which we serve with cheese and apples.  Mine doesn't like egg yolks, but will eat fried egg whites occasionally.  Another thing I do is to fry quesadillas in olive oil or avocado oil to add some healthy fat calories.

If they like pancakes, here is a great recipe (this makes one serving):

one egg,
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. vanilla
1/4 t. baking powder
Blend in a blender, then fry as pancakes.

Can he have tree nuts?  Mine doesn't like nut butters, but a really good shake is one banana, a big scoop of Justin's hazelnut/chcolate butter, milk or vanilla yogurt and ice.  Can add a little Toroni caramel syrup if you want.

I also make the Cook's Illustrated muffins that use yogurt but I use Greek yogurt, and instead of white flour I use 1/3 white flour, 1/3 golden wheat flour, and 1/3 almond flour.  If he can't do tree nuts, I wonder if chickpea flour would work there.

I also find that peer pressure is helpful.  Mine would never eat chicken at home, but somehow got to a place where they will eat Panda Express orange chicken because she would get it at the mall with friends.
