I don't have kids but I have some idea of how hard it can be to get them to eat their veggies. Particularly if you have a picky eater to feed. So it might come as some relief that the folks at DIY Life have posted some suggestions on how you get your kids to eat up. Here are some of the tips:

Disguise veggies in muffins (Broccoli and cheddar muffins? How ingenious is that?)
Top tasty things like pancakes with fresh fruit
Make them a fruity smoothie
Bake some sweet potatoes as an alternative to fries
Puree veggies and add them to anything

There are plenty more tips -- check out the full article to learn more.

How do you get your little one to eat the healthy stuff?

I am so proud of any person who has made a commitment to eating healthy, in particular, raw whole food. Monitoring a healthy lifestyle that includes daily exercise, loving relationships and superior nutrition is required for self health! I am an esophageal (stage 1) cancer survivor. Since 1990 I have been making superior eating choices and have had excellent biopsy check-ups and normal blood work. Recently I was introduced to and have become a distributor for raw whole food snack alternatives and meal replacements. This whole food promotes my lifetime changes that assure my ideal weight and enhance my health. I travel often and take along convenient milo bags of Phi Plus, Fruitalicious and Veggelicious. I am energized every step of my trips! This food supports grazing throughout the day which is better for our digestive systems and pancreas. Check out www.naturalresourcesdiet.com and become informed about recent nutritional research about raw whole food nutrition with opportunity to order. My phone number is available…call with ANY questions and we’ll journey together. See you in cyberspace. Yours in health, Linda Ann
