I love to be sneaky! I have found that my 2 year old loves green smoothies. It is especially good if you are choosing organic, but not totally necessary. Two of his favorites are:
These are rough measurements....
1 cup of frozen pineapple
The juice of one large orange (sometimes I peel and just put the whole thing in)
1 banana
a handful of spinach (or whatever green you have)
enough vanilla almond milk to blend it smooth
This makes a lot so I split it up amongst my 4 kids or I share
We also like a 50/50 split smoothie of blueberries and the vanilla almond milk. YUM!
Another trick I've started doing is setting out a veggie or fruit plate while I'm fixing dinner. This way when they come in saying they are "starving!" I point them to the plate and say go for it. This way they feel like they're getting their way and then I don't stress so much if they don't eat all of their veggie at dinner.
I have also been incorporating some veggie purees into some of our recipes. It's in there but they don't know about it. I still offer the real thing on a regular basis because I want them to grow to love fruit and veggies but now I don't have to stress as much when they go through a really picky stage.
For example I put carrot puree in with mac and cheese and nobody knew it was there.
Even my VERY picky husband tasted it and said he couldn't tell.
For me I have learned that the bigger deal I make of something then the harder my kids will fight me on it. Just like learning, make learning to love good foods a joyous occasion and hopefully they'll come around.
