Finding creative ways to encourage fruits and vegetables in your child's diet, can be fun for the entire family.
1. Keep a bowl of fresh fruits on the counter. Refrigerate cut up fruits and vegetables in small bags for easy snacks on the run.
2. Serve fruits and vegetables at every meal. Add grated or cut vegetables into entrees, side dishes, and soups. Top off cereal with fruits or add frozen fruits to smoothies.
3. Challenge family members to reach their daily fruits and vegetable goal. Reward the winner with a prize of his or her choice.
4. Ask that fruits and vegetables be offered at school functions, after school programs, and in vending machines.
5. Try dressing up sandwiches with faces and smiles made from fruit and vegetables.
6. Keep trying. For some foods, it may take multiple times before a child acquires a taste for it.
