Sometimes children shy away from fruits and vegetables and many parents have a rough time getting their child to like them. One thing you can do as a parent is lead by example which is a great way to get children interested. Parents who eat more fruits and vegetables often have children who are less picky and more likely to consume more fruits and veggies. The key is to not pressure them into eating.
Other simple tips can be found in an article from Earth's Best website titled "Getting Your Child To Pick Fruits & Vegetables." One of those tips includes making fruits and vegetables readily available and doing things like leaving cut up fruits and veggies on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator, within easy reach.
Earth's best has an Organic Apple Sauce which can be an excellent alternative for an actual apple or piece of fruit. The organic apple sauce comes in original and cinnamon and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. It is made with 100% organic apples and is an excellent source of vitamin C!
Earth's Best Apple Sauce grab 'n go cups are ideal for lunchboxes! It can be served as a snack at anytime during the day and makes a perfect after school snack to hold kids over before dinner time.

My kids are pretty good with fruits and vegetables because it's all they've ever eaten! We love Earth's Best products.
ReplyDeleteThat wonderful to hear! Luckily E is pretty good with fruits and veggies too.
DeleteI love that they are making applesauce! I sneak veggies into things for the baby (who is 2) and the 7 year old loves them on their own.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I sometimes have to sneak them also!
DeleteWe also love Earth's Best products, healthy and easy for mom!
ReplyDeleteMy Ana loves her fruits and veggies, have you seen Copy Kids..such cute videos of kids eating them...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful reference
Well, he does eat green beans and brocilli and tomatoes, maybe carrots - all by themselves....but the others - I mix with other foods.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have to be very happy with is that my kids eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Thanks for letting know about this organic applesauce, I'll look for it at the store next!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love these! Great brand! Love their foods!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are not good at veggies but rock on fruit!!!
ReplyDeletei like apple sauce crystletellerday@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteLuckily my grandson LOVES to eat, and one of his favorite snacks is applesauce. He would love to try this brand!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter naturally loves fruit. She will eat a pint of blueberries in one sitting if allowed. :) I put veggies on her plate every night for dinner, even if she does not always eat them. I like for her to have the chance.
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids, but I have trouble eating my veggies sometimes hehe. I love adding them to something like pizza or tacos to mask the flavor
ReplyDeleteTo get them to eat their veggies we try to involve them in growing the veggies in our garden and helping to harvest them.

I find that the pouches are the easiest way to get my son top eat his veggies. He loves the carrot pouches.
ReplyDeletemy son actually loves his veggies. for now at least

Both my boys eat fruits and veggies...Younger one still has softened:)
ReplyDeleteI used to sneak veggies into meatloaf, no one ever knew the difference. Thanks !
ReplyDeleteWe're vegetarians, so...they don't have much choice! ;) Actually, I make smoothies with things they (or I) don't like to eat, it works wonders :)
ReplyDeletemy daughter loves to have a few options- so I put a few things on her divided plate so she thinks she is getting to choose.
ReplyDeleteLuckily my son loves food, he eats it all :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids love carrots and dip -- it's their favourite
ReplyDeleteactually my daughter likes eating her fruits and veggies so it is not a problem... with my grandsons though, we make fun faces on the plate using fruit and veggies I've cut up and whoever eats the face first gets a special treat (small toy etc...)
ReplyDeleteI have no problem getting my oldest to eat fruits. She asks for them! Vegetables are usually not hard to get her to eat. On days that she doesn't particularly want to eat her veggies, I put a little yogurt on her plate, and she can dip it. She loves to dip!
ReplyDeleteWell my son will eat anything, so he's easy to feed. My daughter loves most veggies too so I just make sure I buy what she likes.
ReplyDeletemy little one will eat anything so it's pretty easy in our house, but applesauce is her fave!
ReplyDeleteLuckily my daughter loves fruit so that's easy. As for veggies, she will eat salad and broccoli and carrots. We usually give her one veggie with each lunch and dinner meal

ReplyDeletefb: rab pom
i have such a hard time getting my 2 year old son to eat anything but he seems to eat more if i cut it into small pieces and let him use a toothpick to eat with.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love to dip food in sauce so I give them sliced veggies with a bit of ranch dip and/or sliced fruits with yougurt to dip it in.

I don't have much of a problem getting my kids to eat fruits and vegetables, because they love them!!
ReplyDeleteWe order fresh fruits and vegetables from BountifulBaskets.org (a great volunteer-run food co-op), and every two weeks we take the kids with us while we volunteer and distribute food among the baskets, and the kids help break down cardboard boxes. They get excited to see what we have in our basket each time, and they love seeing their friends each time we pick up. So, they feel more involved in getting the fruits and veggies, and then when we get home, the kids help me unpack the food, and wash and put it away. Getting them involved in the process makes them more interested in eating what they helped to get.

my oldest fights tooth and nail against vegetables, but the youngest gives me no problems.

ReplyDeletetrixie420247 at yahoo dot com
I don't have kids but if I did I would mix their veggies into the tomato sauces of Italian dishes and pizza!
ReplyDeleteThey want to eat what I eat so it works.
