How to get kids to eat more vegetables?

[MaryQueenofPotts]

This will sound ridiculous but how do you get a daily intake of vegetables into your kids?
Do you spread it out over the day, i.e. for snack, lunch and dinner?
Also what is the easiest way of preparing/cooking veggies for weekday meals?

Problems in our household:

• not everyone likes stir fry otherwise that would be quite easy
• DC2 doesn’t like carrots, bell peppers in salad or cooked.
• DC1 doesn’t like tomatoes in salad, doesn’t like sweetcorn.
• Neither keen on peas

I mean, I make a simple salad daily with cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, red bell pepper, feta which everyone eats, but DC2 will start whinging about the bloody bell pepper.

They will eat roasted sweet potato slices for example but I do find roasting vegetables a faff for all 5 of us.

Where am I going wrong with this? Any tips appreciated pls.

My son is sooo fussy. It's a nightmare. Unfortunately blending veg in pasta sauce doesn't work as he won't eat a sauce, just plain pasta! The only way I can get him to eat veg is to make soup and blend it so it's very smooth. He has a bowl of vegetable soup a day and that's it.

I only offered them veggies and rice,so there was nothing else to eat. They eat every kind of vegetable now they are adults. This may not work for everybody, but it works for most Asians.
