LIFE HACK: Getting your kids to eat veggies without them knowing

I am the proud parent of a picky eater- which means she’s not too fond of vegetables. Over the past few years, I’ve found some products that are helpful in getting those veggie servings in without her knowing.

Veggies Made Great is a delish brand that incorporates vegetables into non-veggie snacks. For example, their Blueberry Oat and Chocolate Raspberry Muffins are very popular in my house. They come frozen and individually wrapped. Just throw one in the microwave for 45 seconds and you’re set!

Another item from the frozen aisle that is popular at my house is veggie tots. Green Giant makes a few dino shaped flavors like sweet potato & cauliflower and broccoli & cheese. They also have cauliflower & cheese with bacon which are a personal favorite. They’re basically “tater tots” with full servings of other veggies. I throw them in my air fryer to get them nice and crispy, and my 7 year old scarfs them down.

Aldi’s Simply Nature brand has their own version with a few flavors like Broccoli Bites, and they’re very tasty.

My daughter LOVES smoothies, so I try to sneak some veggies in those when I can. Some days are easier than others. The DOLE Berries ‘n Kale frozen smoothie kits are winners when it comes to adding a little green without the color or the taste.

One more trick up my sleeve is the Veggie Pasta from Birds Eye. These frozen pasta varieties are made from 100% vegetables and have flavors like cheddar cheese sauce, marinara, alfredo, and white cheddar cheese sauce. Just throw them in the microwave and you’ve got a delish pasta that’s healthy!
