Getting Kids to Eat More Vegetables
So how do you get your kids to eat more vegetables? Most experts recommend starting early by offering your older infant and toddler a large variety of fruits and vegetables. It can also help to:
- Set a good example by eating vegetables yourself.
- Offer low-fat salad dressing and other dips as a side for vegetables.
- Mix in vegetables with foods that your child already likes, such as a topping on pizza, extra in spaghetti sauce, or mix in a casserole or soup.
- Let your kids grow their own vegetables or visit a farmer's market to buy fresh vegetables.
- Provide raw vegetables, such as baby carrots, as a snack.
- Offer a lot of choices, provide small servings at first, and keep in mind that some picky eaters won't try a new vegetable until they see it on their plate 10 or more times.
