Since children have a reputation for being fussy eaters, it can be a tricky situation when you want to make sure they get enough nutrients that replenish their bodies on a daily basis. Tap to see some delicious yet creative ways in which their vegetable consumption can be amped up.
Puree vegetables like spinach, carrots or pumpkin and mix into pasta sauces and soups to add nutrition without altering the taste significantly.
Use a spiralizer to create noodles from vegetables like zucchini or carrots for kids to enjoy them just as much as regular pasta, when mixed with their favorite sauces.
Make crispy chips from kale or beetroot by baking thin slices with a little olive oil and seasoning for a crunchy and healthier alternative to store-bought snacks.
Blend fruits with leafy greens like spinach or kale, along with some yogurt or milk so that the sweetness from fruits can mask the taste of the vegetables.
Serve vegetables with a flavourful dip like hummus or guacamole since children are more likely to eat raw vegetables when they have a tasty dip accompanying them.
Finely chop vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers or onions and mix into meatballs or burger patties for added moisture and flavour and nutrients.
