We make fruit smoothies and freeze some into ice lolly moulds instant fruit lollies and they love them.

we have in the past made frozen yogurt drops and plonked grapes on top.

chocolate fountain with fruit although this totally defeats the objective haha - plz dont shoot me

fruit smoothies is a fave

fruit kebabs

My DS loves fruit and yoghurt, so I don't need to find ways to get it into his diet.

I struggle to make sure his fruit and veg intake each day is weighted in the veg category, as its healthier to eat vegetables than fruit. I use the nutribullet to make fruit and veg juices using veggies such as courgette, spinach and kale which he is unlikely to eat on its own.

Tin of chopped tomatoes as the base for everything....

I make ice lollies with fruit in them, the girls don't notice it's fruit they think it's sweets.

I'm lucky that my daughter has always loved fruits and vegetables.
We always make sure we have them cut up ready as snacks for after school as it is more accessible

My sister isn't that into her veggies so me and my family always hide them in anything we cook for her. Just make sure it is a similar colour, blend a little and add to the sauce...not sure if she knows we do this or not....shes now 17 lol

If I want my kids to eat something I tell them it is what power rangers eat. Then afterwards we have an arm wrestle that they obviously win because they're so strong from having eaten their food

We've always tried to appear really excited about fruit and veg like it's a treat.

we have a yonanas and it literally blends frozen fruit to make ice cream or i do smoothies. Also ill take fruit as an emergency snack which they will eat when there's nothing. else

I make fruit kebabs often. And frozen yoghurt in the summer. Also I put extra fruit in yoghurt to make it more tasty and interesting.

My kids are norm hungry after school I always bring fruit and veg as a snack as I know they're hungry enough to wolf it down can normally get 2 extra portions into them this way.
Fruit before pudding even if it's only a few berries or half a banana.
Always have fruit bowl available.
Sometimes add fruit to salad, watermelon or dried cranberries good for this.
Let them choose a fruit when we are shopping.
Going to make mini pumpkins out if tangerines and cucumber for Halloween

We serve fruit every dinner time instead of pudding. DD always looks forward to having her fruit.

Lolly’s made from yoghurt.
I arrange berries artistically on a cake stand and they magically seem more tempting!
Breakfast is now muesli, yoghurt and fruit.

apple or banana cake

My DC love both fruit & yogurt so I don't need to do much sneaking though I do buy fruit pouches & fruit bars which seem to go down well and not seen by them as fruit.

summer is easy for fruit: frozen fruit, fruit ice lollies, fruit sorbet etc. winter isnt quite as easy but i do add fruit\veg to cakes, flapjacks and of course fruit crumble :)

DS loves fruit. We regularly make smoothies at home & I take dried fruit/bar out with us for snacks.

DS loves yoghurt and some fruit, but I find making smoothies is the perfect way to go. I always add veggies in too which I think is more nutritious than fruit, and I balance the flavours so that it's just right and not bleugh.

My two dc both love fruit and yoghurt so it's fairly easy. However I do like to mix it up as much as I can to keep it interesting by giving them lots of different types of fruit throughout the week. If I'm feeling really adventurous I might make a fruit tortoise from a kiwi fruit and grapes or a smiley face out of fruit pieces on their pancakes. Pinterest has loads of amazing ideas!

If I chop up a few different types of fruit and let my children pick a selection of small pieces they are much more likely to eat them than offering whole pieces of fruit.

I make ice lollies with blended fuit and water in, and name them after what dd is into at the time. This month she's enjoying "Moana lollies"!!

Luckily there's no issue here getting the DC to eat either fruit or yogurt They have plenty of choice, keep it mixed up so they don't get bored of only having the same thing over and over. In summer if we have a glut of berries, we'll make smoothies.

DC still has squeezy yoghurt most days as its easier than eating from a pot and saves getting a spoon dirty. They are not so keen on the fruit and veg, but will eat strawberries and grapes quite happily.

My son has got pretty good at eating his fruit so its not toonly Uchida for a challenge. To make it more fun I try doing healthy puddings like fruit ice lollies, Apple crumble or a smoothie

My problem is trying to get the children to eat food that isn't fruit or yogurt. Fruit and yogurt are easy. Fish, mushrooms and broccoli are the foods I need help with.
