Creative Ways to get Fruits and Vegetables into your Children
By: Anne Arsenault
Use these creative ways to get fruits and vegetables into your child.
Leave a container of veggies and dip in the fridge for them to eat when they feel hungry. Cut the veggies in fun shapes; get a book on vegetable garnishes. Have a “make your own pizza” night, provide lots of veggie toppings. Take them out for Chinese food, order “Chop Suey” (make sure to ask for no MSG). Feed them a “Rebar”, which contains many vegetables and fruits and it tastes like a fruit leather.
Make a Fruit Salad, have an older child help cut it up with a plastic knife. Make Fruit Garnishes. Cut up chunks of fruit and place on a wooden skewers, or put on toothpicks and stick them into a cut up melon. Let the children make their own masterpeice. Make fruit Pizza, use a yogurt for the sauce and do not bake.
Make a fruit smoothie, start with a banana, add frozen berries, milk, or even protein powder. Feed them dried fruits, or a bar like “Perfect 10″, made of dried fruits.Keep a few choices around and let them decide which one they’ll have.
