St. Patrick’s Day is Coming. Can you get Your Kids to Eat their Greens?

Brought to you by Kid Approved Meals!

Take time this St. Patrick’s Day to get some green foods into your kids (and, no, I’m not talking about cupcakes with green frosting).

Create an entire “green” meal for your kids, in honor of the leprechauns.

Here are some ideas:

Broccoli with Ranch dressing (or Green dressing) Sliced Kiwi Avocados Asparagus Green apple slices Green grapes Cucumber slices Peas or Snow Pea Pods Green Beans

Have fun with it — and be proud of your kids, especially if they are normally picky eaters — if they try several of the foods you’ve offered them.

We hope you enjoy your green meal! (And, thank you, again, to Kid Approved Meals for giving us the ideas!)
