10 ways to make your child eat fruits and veggies




Here is a list of great tips for you:

  1. Glaze them up with ranch, a condiment, or any dipping sauce
  2. Be sneaky hide these veggies in foods they love or make them visible and tasty in their rice or broth. There are also many healthy kid-friendly recipes over the internet. Check them out!
  3. Make smoothies. Kids love smoothies or you can start juicing and get lots of antioxidants 
  4. Be creative. Garnish them, decorate them. Make a car with a pickle give them silly names.
  5. Have fruits and vegetables easily accessible. Place a bowl of cut fruit in your table. Try it!  
  6. Tell them the benefits of consuming them
  7. Take your child  to the grocery store and pick the fruits and vegetables of his/her choice
  8. Reward them with candy after they eat veggies and/or fruit. You won't have to do this with time, so be patient!
  9. Be an example!It works!
  10. If none of these work when you actually give them a try with patience, then I would recommend giving them vitamins but cutting on their sweets too
