For all you folk out there with children, we all know how their health is important and it obviously starts with the health of the parents and mental health, plenty of love etc. However we also know that it starts with diet too.
On that, we know that weve got to get them fruits and veggies into the kids along with dairy and meats and less overprocessed full of the wrong sugars and preservatives etc.
But all the kids are different, some like broccili and some dont etc (sigh). So i have a few tips which worked for me, and id love to hear yours as im always learning.
I can either sit there and say 'if you dont eat that im serving it up for your breakfast and im gunna.....well you get the message haha, and thats one way. But im getting the good stuff into them regardless, so i learnt years back when i grew food and they helped me plant and keep and harvest, things got better. So thats the first tip. Get them in the garden with you!!!!!! It works...at least on some veggies lol.
The other thing is, season it with a tad of salt and pepper. A little bit of Himalayan Salt and cracked pepper or a good sauce can work too. That's tip No2.
Tip number 3 is threaten to flog the pan....sorry about that! I'm in a bit of a humorous mood atm lol. Tip No 3 is to mash those veggies up into a mash like mash potato or to add them to mash potato and add a touch of seasoning.
And my last and ultimate tip is to bite the bullet like we did and fork out the cash for the best of the best blender on the market, the vitamix and put it in a smoothie recipe and get it into them.
We do this almost every day, and not one complaint, but i know that they are getting huge amounts of fibrous nutrition into them, and then at the dinner table, im not so upset because i worry for their good health. Right across the board, not one complaint with 8 kids from 12 and under.
Here's a pic of what the lady smashed up this morning. Go the mason jars, gotta love them for keeping lots of stuff easy. Hope that helps and would love to read your tips and thoughts too. Cheers
