[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's about 600 calories per cup, its not very healthy with cream and cheese.

Add a touch of cream but mostly use chicken broth, lemon and lots of herbs for a lighter version, but it won't be the same. [/quote]

Calories are not inherently unhealthy. Kids need calories, lots of them, and most kids are good at listening to their bodies to stop eating when they're full. It's not a problem to give a child calorie dense foods because they don't often overeat (obviously if OP's child has issues with overeating or is overweight, that's a different story).

Alfredo sauce has lots of fat which is great for kids. Kids also need lots of quick carbs. Use grass fed cream and butter and you've got lots of vitamins. It's an excellent addition to a meal with protein and vegetables. [/quote]

This.  What is wrong with most of these posters?  I make it all the time for my boys as you described.  Roast broccoli and toss a bunch of that in at the end, sometimes spinach instead.  They like.  I tend to not eat it as I'm in my early 50s and can't afford the calories.  My teens?  Pffft.  They're fine.[/quote]
