Yoghurt no problem as they all liked it, although I was reading the other day about freezing Frubes, which is a brilliant idea that I really want to try anyway.
Fruit (and veg too) always get eaten when cut into little pieces or interesting shapes. I also find variety helps. Ask mine if they'd like an apple or some strawberries and they'll say "no" but offer a fruit salad and they'll all say "yes" even if it is just apple and strawberries cut up together.

My granddaughter stayed for the week and loved having a yoghurt in a bowl with thinly sliced strawberries, wasn't too keen on the banana one, but luckily she lives most fruits especially blueberries, she still finds it funny remembering the stray one that I accidentally sat on and it squished over my leg 😨 finds it hilarious recalling when i slipped on a grape in Asda

I'm quite lucky because my children love fruit but they do prefer a smoothie sometimes so I keep a bag of frozen berries in the freezer and they help me put them in the blender and make smoothies

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.

Blend and blitz fruit and veg into oblivion a topping to go on icecream a sauce to go on pasta tasty but unnoticable. Let the child come shopping toi a green grocers let them smell and pick the fruit and veg they will be eating. Gte them involved in preparing and cooking food. Fresh and raw is a perfect form.

My daughter loves fruit but there are a few fruits she's not keen on so I try to mix them into smoothies and she never notices :)

My daughter cannot stand most vegetables - little does she know most of these I put in her favourite vegetable soup !

Grow your own - the flavour's so much better they eat it before you do!

DD actually loves fruit so it not really an issue but since the blenders came to the fore I am always doing smoothies with yoghurt! :)

fortunately thad to sneak as little ones loves all fruit and veg apart from peas for some reason, If I had to sneak fruit in I would make yogurt ice lollies with small pieced of fruit in them, for veg I would either cut into fun shapes or mash up in mashed potato to make "Surprise" or "colourful" mash

We quite often have fruit salads and as long as there is a scoop of ice cream on the side my lg will happily eat all the fruit, we also freeze grapes in the summer months they taste delicious and she loves them!

Always add veggies in mince meat for pasta and shepherds pie. Usually they never realise.

Ice lollies made with real fruit, home made sorbets, home made fruit and oat bars.

We make a lot of smoothies and luckily the kids love them, they also enjoy making biscuits and cakes and we fill them with fruit, beetroot chocolate cake is a favourite.
And youghurt with pureed frozen fruits is very tasty

I blitz up smoothies sometimes we freeze them into lollies or I freeze bananas first then use them frozen in the smoothies which gives a really creamy milkshake texture reminiscent of those from a certain popular fast food chain

Pretending that blueberries are little sweeties

Most things will be eaten if my dcs are told not to have them as it'll make them really fast and mummy/daddy won't be able to keep up, or that it'll give them rocket trumps.

my youngest refuses to eat bananas so I make a smoothie and unbeknown to him use milk, banana, avocado, strawberries and fromage frais and he loves it.

Add fruit to things they like - apple or tomatoes with cheese; berries to ice cream; fruit jam to bread; odd fruit on cereals; raisins with chocolate etc. . And, as they get older, encourage them to try dried fruit which has a different texture and sometimes tastes less like the full versions.

My daughter loves yoghurt but fruit less so. Finely chopping soft fruit and mixing it with yoghurt is a staple element of breakfast most weekdays.

Smoothly blended fruit smoothies with crushed ice always go down well (we even manage to hide some veg in there).

Freezing the same smoothie mixture in a lolly mould provides what she considers a treat in warmer weather.

Berries with ice cream and crushed meringue is an acceptable pudding.

Strangely, she regularly picks and eats brambles on the way home from school but if I presented her with a bowl of blackberries she would reject them 🙄

Luckily fruit isn't as difficult to get into them as veggies are but still I would prefer it if they ate more. We are all big fans of smoothies in our house. I try and make them a couple of times a week at least and the kids love coming up with strange concoctions but it encourages them to drink the smoothies and gets loads of fruit into them. With yoghurt one of my favourite things to do is to combine it with some fruit and make it into a home made ice cream. It not only tastes delicious but it is so much healthier than regular ice cream.

my kids have always been quite good at having fruit and yogurt so i dont really have to be sneaky. If its something new my youngest has never tried i will tell her a little tale about it ..for example she believes apricots help you learn your alphabet , as thats what she was learning at the time so i told her if you eat apricots you get really good at remembering letters....seems to work

courgette cake!, beetroot cake! its hard but whilst my daughter is very wary about eating fruit she is a vegetarian

Fruit smoothies made into treat time ice lollies

I cut up a plate of fruit or vegetables, leave it on the table and tell her that's for Daddy when he gets in from work, not to touch it. She can't eat it fast enough.
