Creative Ways to Sneak in Veggies
Sometimes, we need to be a bit sneaky with our kids, and it's all for a good cause! After battling over chicken nuggets and chips, it can be frustrating.
Crafty tips to boost nutrition without the struggle:
Sauces: Add pureed vegetables to sauces for a nutritious boost. Think marinara with hidden carrots or cheese sauce with pureed cauliflower.
Mashed Potatoes: Transform traditional mashed potatoes by mixing in pureed butternut squash or cauliflower for added creaminess and nutrition.
Smoothies: Blend fresh spinach with sweet fruits like bananas, strawberries, or mangoes. The sweetness will mask the spinach flavour, creating a delicious treat.
Grating Veggies: Finely grate zucchini or carrots into dishes like meatballs, pancakes, or muffins. They’ll blend right in!
By using these creative methods, you can enhance your child's diet with essential nutrients while keeping mealtime enjoyable and stress-free.
