4 TIPS FOR GETTING KIDS TO EAT HEALTHY MEALS

Meal Planning: Investing an hour in meal planning at the beginning of the week saves time and money, and it results in tastier meals. Whether you use an app or a piece of paper, don’t underestimate the power of planning!
Get your children involved. Having kids help with preparation and cooking gets them invested in what they eat. If you’ve got a garden, encourage them to grow and pick produce, even if it’s a few herbs on the windowsill.
Lucky Leftovers: Cook double (or triple) of your favorite recipes, and store in the fridge or freezer for when cooking feels like a tall order. That way, you’ll always have a kid-friendly meal at hand.
Encourage Variety. Foster an environment where trying new foods and cuisines is common. A fun game is to have them choose a novel fruit or vegetable each week, then together you research how to prepare it. You’ll find specimens at your local supermarket, farmers market, or international market.
