<\/p>\nKids can be frustratingly picky eaters. They can sense a green spinach leaf a mile away and a crunchy carrot has them running for cover. Sometimes you just have to be a bit sneaky and smuggle the healthy stuff where they would least expect it.<\/p>\n
Instead of ice cream, give your kids a low-fat frozen yogurt, full of calcium and with fewer calories. Add a teaspoon of sprinkles, or decorate it with cut-up fruit.
\nIdea for picky eaters:<\/b>\u00a0Freeze a stick in a kid-size flavored-yogurt cup, and serve it popsicle-style.<\/p>\nSpinach<\/b><\/h3>\n
If your kids hate spinach, be creative. Hide it into their favorite dishes such as lasagna or meat loaf, or even put it in a sandwich instead of lettuce.
\nIdea for picky eaters:<\/b>\u00a0Do they really hate all green stuff? Try this: bake it into brownies. They’ll never figure out there is spinach in them!<\/p>\n

Kids will be getting iron, magnesium, zinc as well as fiber. When buying bread, first check the label \u2013 whole-wheat flour should be listed as the first ingredient.\u00a0 One way to make kids eat whole-wheat bread instead of white is to serve it with melted cheese.
\nIdea for picky-eaters:\u00a0<\/b>Use cookie cutters to make finger sandwiches in fun shapes.\u00a0 Kids will be excited to eat an animal shaped sandwich and won’t notice that the bread is of a darker colour. Or mix a few drops of natural colour into cream cheese, add stars made of fruit and sprinkles et voila, unicorn toast.<\/p>\nTomatoes<\/b><\/h3>\n
Tomatoes contain a lot of vitamin C and a great amount of fiber. If your kids won’t eat them fresh, chunked, or sliced, try lightly grilling them with a little olive oil.
\nIdea for picky-eaters:<\/b>\u00a0Tiny grape tomatoes are really sweet. With a bit of creative presentation, your kids won’t be able to resist it. Transform them into a car with tomato wheels or ladybird decoration on vegetable waffles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
