Who knew kids had so many opinions about when they can eat a banana? 🍌 Instead of making that mac and cheese from a blue box for the 200th meal in a row, we have some tips on how to get kids to eat healthier without the struggle. ⁣ 1.

Incorporate veggies in subtle ways- kids may not even notice the thinly chopped or grated veggies in a pasta sauce… 🍝⁣ 3. Cooking color veggies might help kids have more an interest in eating them. Especially if they help prep! ⁣ Check out the link in bio for more! 👩‍🍳⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⁣
