Illustration by Russel Wayne From "Vegetable Kids in the Garden" Have fun adding vegetables in different ways to everything you eat. Blend vegetables in your favorite sauces. You can hide most any vegetable in pasta sauce but be a little more careful about cheese sauces. Kids love smoothies and popsicles with fruit and vegetables and spinach and bananas can be easily added to chocolate milk.
Beyond hiding vegetables in foods you love, train your taste buds to like foods that make you fit. Try eating a small bit of vegetable on the fork with something you like. As Steve Kamb of Nerdfitness says, “Take something you enjoy eating, and add some vegetable on the same fork-load.” He has some great tips and links on his Nerdfitness website.
If you or someone in your family hates vegetables, start gradually adding a little bit wherever you can hide it. As you add more, your palate will get used to it, and your body will want the nutrition. To celebrate Fruits and Veggies More Matters Month, add one more vegetable this week.
