Getting kids to eat fruits and vegetables is often a parents’ dream. Filled with nutrients kids need, it’s great to say “I want my kids to get the 5 a day they’re supposed to have.” But getting them to eat it is a bit harder. Sure, it’s easy in summer when fresh watermelon and other sweet fruit treats are readily available, but come fall, it’s still important to get those nutrients in your child’s diet.
The best possible way to do this is to use fresh, seasonal produce. Because seasonal produce are more affordable, and tend to be better tasting, it’s a great idea to get them to eat it. But what do you do when your child isn’t a fan of the seasonal produce available for them?
You get sneaky, and add it into foods they love already, and with these meal ideas at every stage in the day, you’ll have no problem ensuring they’re getting 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day.
