The Veggie Standoff

Tool: The creative plate.

Action: Make veggies fun! Turn broccoli into tiny trees, carrots into swords, and peas into treasure. If you make it a game, they’re more likely to play along (and eat their veggies).

The Fruit Fiasco

Tool: Smoothie magic.

Action: Blend fruits into smoothies. Throw in a handful of spinach for an extra boost, and they’ll never know. Plus, smoothies are great for teething relief when frozen into popsicles.

The Protein Predicament

Tool: Finger foods.

Action: Serve protein-rich foods in bite-sized pieces. Think chicken nuggets, cheese sticks, and mini meatballs. Finger foods are fun and easy for little hands to manage.

The Dairy Drama

Tool: Sneaky snacks.

Action: Incorporate dairy into snacks they love. Yogurt dips for fruit, cheese in scrambled eggs, and milk in smoothies. It’s all about being sneaky!

Hydration Hullabaloo

Tool: Fun cups.

Action: Encourage water intake with colorful, fun cups or straws. Make a game out of drinking water – the sillier, the better!

Remember, the key is patience and persistence. It might take a few tries (or a hundred), but eventually, you’ll find what works for your little eater. Sample cups below
