Some of us can get our kids to swallow veggies without a problem. In fact, some kids absolutely love vegetables and their parents never have to worry about encouraging healthy eating habits. If your littles ones do not fit into this category, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with some sneaky recipe suggestions that are so delicious, your kids won’t even notice that they’re packed with nutritious veggies.

Scrambled Eggs with Cauliflower

Cauliflower is easy to grate or mince, and its flavour is mild enough that it can be added to many dishes without disrupting sensitive tastebuds. Try using a cheese grater or a blender to break down your cauliflower into tiny pieces and add to scrambled eggs. Your little ones will never notice the difference!

Zucchini Brownies

Make sweet treats pack a nutritional punch by using a recipe that adds zucchini to the mix! These zucchini brownies are chocolatey, delicious, and your kids will never notice that they’re full of zucchini!

Macaroni and Cheese with Veggie Sauce

Including finely chopped veggies in the cheese sauce is a great way to up the nutritional content of this dish. Options include broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, or even spinach!

Smoothies

It’s easy to make smoothies taste fantastic and healthy! For one thing, the amount of recipes available for smoothies packed with fruit and veggies is almost endless. And for another, the fruit base makes smoothies sweet and simple for children to consume.

Veggie-Packed Beef Patties

If you’ve taken the plunge to making your own burger patties with ground beef or turkey, adding veggies into your homemade patties is a quick way to enhance the nutritional content of your BBQ! Try incorporating mashed lentils or chickpeas, or add chopped broccoli or kale for a fresh-from-the-garden taste.
