11. Two Fish and Five Loaves of Bread | Getting Your Kids to Eat Healthy Foods

Getting your kids to eat healthy foods can be difficult, but we have some tried and true tips for raising healthy eaters that love eating fruits and veggies… even if we have to sneak them into dishes without them knowing! We hope these tips are helpful, and would love to hear your own tips in the comments on our YouTube channel! Resources mentioned: Yummy Healthy Tasties In My Tummy by Helen Hope Kimbrough & Cynthia Jackson Some key takeaways from this episode include: If you have littles that refuse to eat fruits and vegetables, sneak them in. Chop up vegetables and add them to pasta sauces, give them a smoothie packed with produce, and serve the fruits and veggies they do like, even if it feels repetitive. Expose your kids to as many different flavors and foods as possible when they’re really young, and talk to them about why it’s important to eat healthy. Connect it to something they care about, like the sports or activities they like to do.  If you can make it fun, kids will be excited to try new things. Try adding veggies as a topping for pizza, explore colorful variations of carrots and tomatoes, and have your kids help prep and cook the veggies so they’re invested in the process. Mothers are the queens of the castle, but let’s be real: it’s not all ball gowns and glass slippers.
