This is my way out b/c I know there's no way I can do what the dietary guidelines require of me. Ryder gets tons of protein and fruit. He lacks in veggies. Won't eat them at all.Melissa (aka Kitty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12351381035171827645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825026573449733117.post-30774645229663939242008-03-06T15:06:00.000-06:002008-03-06T15:06:00.000-06:00My kids get fruit probably twice a day and vegetab...My kids get fruit probably twice a day and vegetables once, plus whatever I can sneak into their dinner. They're pretty good about trying a bite of almost anything put in front of them, but won't eat a whole serving of anything except peas, corn, maybe green beans and cooked carrots. Fruits are less of a problem, though neither of them likes berries.<BR/><BR/>I'm always sneaking milled flaxseed into things, too, like pancakes and muffins. <BR/><BR/>Since we don't drink much juice around here except orange juice in the morning, the boys really like drinking V8 Fusion drinks that are a whole serving of fruit and vegetables per 8 ounces. I'm willing to let them have some extra calories from something like this (or like dip, to get them to try vegetables) when they're also getting the benefits of fruits and vegetables.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045928744326748803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825026573449733117.post-15097288701039737062008-03-06T14:15:00.000-06:002008-03-06T14:15:00.000-06:00We were actually pretty good until the last year o...We were actually pretty good until the last year or so. As a toddler Savannah would eat every fruit and vegetable under the sun. I had never met a child who loved things like broccoli, tomatoes, lima beans and pineapple the way she did!! Now Sawyer is the pickiest kid alive I swear, and Savannah seems to be following suit. I think the only veg. Sawyer will eat willingly is cucumber. I have to sneak a lot into breads and sauces if I want him eating a colorful diet. We still offer them all though... I try to offer lots of fruits and raw veggies as snacks rather than always muffins, crackers and carbs like that.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585727879797305803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825026573449733117.post-91099809252935351502008-03-06T07:52:00.000-06:002008-03-06T07:52:00.000-06:00We are better with fruits than vegetables.

Will will eat other mellons, Ryan is more picky.<BR/><BR/>Ryan will eat vegetables at school. I think it is more peer pressure. Will eats just about anything.<BR/><BR/>Matt doesn't like vegetables, so I have a harder time getting them to eat them at home.AliRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945033720922281939noreply@blogger.com
