Teens are in a place in their lives where they are growing rapidly and if your teen is a sporty one then they need to have a good balanced diet. Before training or practicing, it's good for them to carbo load. It gives them the energy to make it all the way through without feeling faint.
We've rounded up some interesting recipes for you to feed them.
