5 Ways To Get Your Kids To Eat More Veggies WHAT THEY DONT KNOW WILL DEFINITELY NOT HURT THEM! It is hard enough to get kids to eat, let alone eat their fruits and vegetables. This struggle is one we know all too well as most of the kids are very picky eater. They doesnt eat a lot, so when they does eat, we want their food choices to be nutritious. Children are supposed to eat 4-6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. We often do worry that they are not getting enough. So, few ways to get more fruits and vegetables into them. 1. HIDE VEGETABLES IN YOUR BAKING. Sometimes you can mix vegetables into your baking to try to get them to eat more of them. You can make a delicious carrot, ridge gourd (TORI in hindi) chocolate chip muffin recipe that your children may love so much they dont even care that they can see pieces of ridge gourd and carrots. 2. PUREE VEGETABLES INTO SAUCES. You can start making a delicious Pasta sauce that uses pureed cauliflower instead of cream and butter. Hiding vegetables in sauces is a great way to increase the nutrition in your child’s diet. 3. SERVE JUICES THAT HAVE VEGGIES BLENDED INTO THEM. If the kids do not drink the juices on a particular day, another way for them to enjoy one daily serving of the juice is by freezing them into popsicles. 4. PRESENT THE FUITS AND VEGGIES IN A FUN WAY. Try to make fruit and veggie snacks look appetizing. Carrots & cucumber cut into thin slices are great ways to make veggies look different and get the kids to eat them. This strategy also works with fruits. Cutting apples and peaches into many thin slices so they are easier to eat rather than serving big pieces works well for us. You can cut grapes in half to make them look more tasty. Peeled oranges segmented and cut in half and cherries cut in half are also options. If your child is hungry and ends up eating their “healthy and interesting-looking” snack they will soon learn that fruit and vegetables can be delicious. 5. CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE VEGETABLES ON YOUR CHILDRENS PLATES. In a recent survey, 42% of moms said that their kids eventually started eating more veggies as they got older. This gives us hope. Your kid may become more adventurous with his/her eating each year. Try not to stress too much over each day, focus on larger periods of time. There are many reasons why children say they dont like to eat veggies. Always let him/her know how important it is to eat fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy lifestyle. https://facebook/mystery4kids
