What do you do if your child says NO to veggies?

Feeding your child ages 2 to 5 (and older) can sometimes be challenging. Relax, and remember this too shall pass. But until then here are some helpful hints:

  • Remember the saying Monkey See, Monkey Do?  Are you eating your vegetables?
  • Serve a wide variety of vegetables, the darker in colour the better. Make sure to wash thoroughly before eating.
  • Offer small servings of vegetables 'oh natural' and not overcooked.
  • Try serving cooked vegetables with a cheese or white sauce.
  • Serve raw vegetables with dip.
  • Vegetable soup or finely grate vegetables into a low sodium vegetable, chicken or beef broth.
  • Don't forget vegetable or tomato juice counts too.

Visit the Veggie Table for recipes or email me your child's favourite recipe and I'll put it on my website to share with others.

Have a great day.
