What’s the best way to raise a veggie lover? Let them slice, dice, and create a healthy veggie pita pizza.
Who said vegetables are boring? If you want your kids to eat their daily recommended dose of veggies, focus on fun and familiar. Research shows pairing vegetables with foods a child already likes works. Think peanut butter and celery or broccoli with cheese sauce. For younger kids, I love to have them make veggie pizza faces. To guarantee veggie-lover success, make sure you provide a variety of colorful, pre-cut vegetables like sweet red bell pepper, grated or spiralized carrot, green onions, zucchini coins, and olives. Then let your kids unleash their imagination and make pizza faces.
