How To Get Kids To Eat Vegetables

I was curious how to get kids to eat vegetables for a long time as I have found it to be a great challenge. Especially my daughter was very fussy about veggies. She only ate carrots and frozen green peas, green leafy vegetables were a big NO.

Green Smoothie For Kids

We all know the importance of developing healthy eating habits early and get our kids to consume plenty fruits and vegetables. But the challenge remains: how to get kids to eat vegetables? When I have started to work on my 30 days green smoothie challenge, I realized that this is the solution not only for us, adults to increase our fresh vegetable intake but the smoothies are so tasty, that my kids like them too. Making smoothies is an excellent and easy way to incorporate several fruits and vegetables into the kids diet and they are so tasty that the kids will love them. The best thing about a green smoothie is that all the natural goodness of the ingredients stay intact as no cooking required. If you ever wondered how to get kids to eat vegetables, this is the answer.  Making smoothies is an excellent and easy way to incorporate several fruits and vegetables into the kids diet and they are so tasty that the kids will love them.

Get Them Involved In The Creation

The kids like to get involved in making the smoothie too. They see what goes into the smoothie and learn what are the good stuff. My kids refuse to eat spinach on its own but have no objection about putting spinach into the smoothie, for it’s part of the recipe. We have tried other fruits and vegetables as well to create different smoothies and after a while my kids become more and more open to try out new variations.

They learn what is healthy. Even when we are not making a smoothie but they become hungry for an apple or banana, they are saying: “Mummy, apple is healthy isn’t it?”

Now, if you looking for a delicious green smoothie recipe for kids, your search is over. Here is my kid’s favorite green smoothie – or as we call it: red smoothie – recipe. It’s very tasty and even it’s color does not give it away.
