Tommy’s Tip of the Day: Make Veggies FUN!

It’s no secret that vegetables have always been a difficult sell to kids. But with this TOMMY TIP, we can make veggies a little bit more fun for kids to enjoy.

The Tip: Serve broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables with a dip!

Adding a bit of dressing or sauce can make a boring carrot much more appetizing. Try dipping veggies in applesauce or, for really picky eaters, low-fat yogurt or cheese for a healthy afternoon snack. Other dips to try: peanut butter, ranch dressing, pizza sauce, sour cream… The sky’s the limit!

Bonus Tip: Cut food into fun shapes with cookie cutters for even more fun!

A healthy snack that both kids and parents can enjoy? Now, who wouldn’t love that? Check out this article over at Super Healthy Kids for a healthy full week meal plan with the heart-shaped carrots you see above!
