Do you also have little fussy eaters at home who have permanently sworn off anything green? You and I both know the kids need their vitamins and you cannot pump them full of tablets and pills. We have found a way around it. And this is a collection of the best vegetable snacks we could find.
Green smoothie that is not that green
Go ahead with a broccoli smoothie. If your kid is a serious veggie hater, make the smoothie with 2 parts of sweet fruit and one part of the green vegetable. You can mix broccoli with strawberry or beets with blue berries. Add some milk to hike up the calcium.
Sausage and butterbean casserole
Mix up high-protein sausages, beans and the secret carrot cubes cooked in rich, tomato sauce. The tomatoes are full of antioxidant lycopene and carrots are amazingly full of Vitamin A and Vitamin K. just the kind of vegetable snacks the fussy eaters need!
French-fry makeover and parsnip fries
Can you believe these gorgeously golden chips are actually parsnips? This is a great way to camouflage these vegetables. The two features that make these fries real winners for the kids are the fluffy carby texture of the parsnips and the subtle sweetness. This is an amazingly delicious combo your kids would just love.
Fruit and vegetable snacks
These delicious looking cubes are a magic of gelatin, berries (you can get really creative here) along with spinach! You can blend the veggies and the fruits first and add in the gelatin later to make the mixture that you can later cut up into cubes.
Red pepper and cheese savory muffins for kids
The best thing about red pepper is that it becomes sweet as you cook it. And what is even better is that red peppers contain more than 200% of the recommended daily Vitamin C intake. Try out this amazing recipe right here.
