Incorporating a healthy and well-balanced diet for children is necessary for their growth and development.
Getting children to eat vegetables can be a challenge for most parents. Camouflaging vegetables into dishes which the child enjoys is a good idea.
Children can be helped to understand that vegetables are just like fruits/pasta etc, except they have unique texture and flavour.
At Aura, children get home made nutrient-rich food for break time thus promoting a healthy outlook towards fruits and vegetables.
Recommendations:
– involving children in daily meal plans
– including them in grocery shopping
– sorting vegetables at home (touching and smelling is helpful)
– getting them to cut veggies into shapes
– making colourful smoothies together
Starting young is the trick!!
