Convincing kids to eat their veggies is a hard task. This often leaves parents feeling defeated. So if you’re like us who’s struggling to get these picky eaters to increase their vegetable intake, read on for some of the tricks and hacks in sneaking more veggies into your child’s plate.

Play with food - hide them in plain sight! Kids are visual and extremely imaginative, so parents can also use  this to their advantage during meal time as a sneaky hack to get them to eat more veggies. When food is presented in a fun way, kids are more likely to eat whatever is on their plate - even broccolis and cauliflowers! Instead of disguising them for toddlers, let your kids make art with food. Or give their food a cool name. Let kids pretend that broccolis are “trees” and carrots renamed as “x-ray vision carrots”

Disguise the veggies in muffins and pancakes - great for toddlers and kids, being creative with your muffin or pancake mix is another great way of getting kids to eat them. Adding in veggies provides more vitamins and minerals that can actually improve the texture of whatever you’re whipping up in the oven. Mashed sweet potato, carrots, avocado are some of the varieties you can try to add more moisture to baked goods. This means you don’t need as much oil.

Subscribe to healthy bundle meal plans - make a meal plan with creative veggie names, and get your kids to participate in the planning process.
