It has been an uphill battle trying to get the kids to eat healthy. I'm sure all parents can relate. Its like they have radar for soda and candy and cookies. We don't even keep that stuff in the house! They will eat bananas till the cows come home, but I want to add a bit of variety. I want them to really like eating veggies. In my daily search on Pinterest, I came across the idea of making snack trays or nibble trays. Basically, you put a variety of little munchies out and let them go at it as they please. They definitely don't like sitting still so this may be a good solution.
I didn't have small enough muffin tins or big enough ice cube trays, so I used a nice decorative plate. It has lots of color and they like color!
As you see here, I alternated fruits(apples, raisins, peaches), veggies(cucumber, avocado) and a little bit of protein(boiled eggs). You can season as you like or even add a bit of dip.
I think it was a success. When I put the tray down, Toots yelled "Wow" in his cute lil toddler voice. The tray wasn't empty at the end but it's a start.
How do you get your kiddies to eat?
Until next time,
Tchau, Tchau!!
