Getting Kids to Eat Salads

July 25, 2008

Getting kids to eat salads can be very difficult.

Getting adults to eat salads can be difficult as well.

The funny thing about salads is that it really is a habit you have to form. Forcing down spinach or broccoli once in a while can be challenging. If you eat it every day, I guarantee that at some point you will start missing it if you skip a day.

Here are some tips to getting kids to eat salads regularly.

1) Start with a salad before other things are on the table.

2) Give kids SMALL salad portions and praise them for eating it.

3) Serve a salad every day. Eventually they will just expect it and it will become a non-issue.

4) Make the kids salad out of mostly things they already like. We do a small amount of spinach with carrots and cucumbers.

That is it. Don’t give up quickly and your kids will be eating salads in no time.

    It is extremely difficult to gets kids to eat anything green. It used to be really hard for us to let my nephew eat his vegetables. However, I watched this documentary that it is a great idea to blend your vegetables and mix them in with normal food. That way, the kids do not know they are eating vegetables but still enjoy their meal!
