If you've got kids, they're likely the most important people in your life. Which is perfectly natural. Feeding your kids healthy food that they'll actually want to eat is important. But not always as easy as it should be.
Almost every kid in the country is a fussy eater. Kinds of all ages seem to prefer sweet foods to things like healthy vegetables.
So, what do you need to do to get your kids to enjoy eating food that's healthy for them? All the time making sure that you've got enough hours in the day to be able to perform your parental duties.
You need to keep changing the food you offer your kids. Otherwise there's a good chance they'll maybe get bored. Or, even worse, that they'll only eat two or three trusted recipes.
It isn't your fault that you've got so many things to do each and every day!
The internet has made the search for new healthy eating recipes easier. You may even be able to find recipes that have been tested on real kids with real reviews of how they reacted.
Sometimes your kids will flat out refuse to eat their greens. If that's the case, hunt down a batch of recipes that will help get these ingredients past even the fussiest eater. It's easy to throw vegetables into your blender to cut them up real small. That way, even a fussy kid won't be able to pick out the bits they don't like. Another way is to use different textures and mixes of food. If your kids don't like the idea of steamed broccoli, consider using a sauce to make it taste different. The sauce can still be healthy - it's only restaurants that have to make almost every sauce using cream.
Another option is to call the food by some "revolting" name like "Hulk Juice". Kids like weird and wonderful things and may well eat something if it has a name that an adult would turn their nose up at. It's definitely worth giving it a go!
