First let them choose, then taste together

How do you get your kids to eat 5 fruits and veggies a day? We’ve got a couple of ideas and we would love to hear your ideas.

Let Kids Choose a New Fruit or Veggie

Kids are more likely to try a food that they have a hand in choosing. Plan a trip to the grocery store and explore the colorful rows of fruits and veggies. Let them choose one veggie or fruit to take home and try. Thatโ€™s one way to serve them 5 a day. Do you have ideas?


Taste Fruits & Veggies Together

Use positive words such as crunchy, sweet, and yummy when tasting together. If your child doesnโ€™t like a new veggie or fruit, let them know that everyoneโ€™s tastes change over time. They might need to try the veggie or fruit again another time. Thatโ€™s one way to serve them 5 a day. What words do you use to describe your favorite fruits or veggies?
