What are some good ways to get my kids to eat more fruits and vegetables?

1. Start by introducing your children to different fruits and vegetables at a young age. Have fun with it, let them pick out the ones they want to try and make it an interactive experience.
2. Try making fruit smoothies or juices that include a variety of fruits and vegetables. This will give them the opportunity to taste different flavors and textures.
3. Serve fruit and vegetable dishes as part of their regular meals. Make sure you provide a variety so that they can learn to like different tastes.
4. Incorporate fresh fruit and vegetables into snacks and desserts. For example, slice up apples and put them in yogurt parfaits, or cut carrots and cucumbers into sticks and serve them with hummus for dipping.
5. Offer incentives such as stickers, extra screen time or even money for eating certain types of produce. Rewarding healthy eating habits is a great way to encourage children to continue to eat more fruits and vegetables.
