FAQ#19: Ask The Expert

Is it a good idea to "sneak" pureed veggies into kids meals – is it as nutritious?

“Sneaking" vegetables and fruits into kids’ foods is a way for parents to feel comfortable that their kids are getting the good nutrition from fruits and veggies, especially if they are picky eaters. It is also a good way to add extra nutrition to meals by including "MORE" and to help adults meet recommendations for fruits and vegetables. However, it is still important to include fruits and veggies in meals regularly so that it becomes a habit for kids to include them at their meals.
