Our kids are extremely active. Anyone have recipes that are low in sugar but high in flavor?

I would love to feed our kids somehting tasty and delicious but at the same time low in sugar. Sugar is not necesarily a bad thing but I want to be able to feed these kids without worrying that they will be hyper-active. I am a big fan of smoothies and oatmeal. Here are my top two.
