Courgette it a good one to mix in without it being detected, I use it when making pasta sauces all the time. Cauliflower is also an good one to mix in with mac and cheese or any cheese bake :)

[maisiesnan]

I must be very lucky as I've never had to hide or disguise fruit and vegetables in order to get my children to eat them

[Ikea1234]

My son suffered with various tummy troubles and constipation when weaning, as I was advised to blitz and blend! Prunes in spag Bol, carrots in chilli....my list is endless! And I still do it! And guess what? My son is still none the wiser!

[towser44]

Smoothies, she loves them!

[clopper]

Fruit skewers and grape santa hats are especially popular in our house.

[emmmaaa26]

I make oaty biscuits with fruit pieces baked into them.

Also giving them fruits they enjoy and can grow on the garden.

[vickyors]

Smoothies. And soups. We also give the girls frozen fruit and veg as a snack. We give them a little pot, and we give our girls sweet corn and peas and frozen raspberries. Straight from the freezer, and they love it!!

[defineme]

I make sugar free jelly up with fruit juice/fruit/blended fruit.

[foxessocks]

I pretend paw patrol are on the phone to check she has eaten her carrots that give her extra energy for jumping.

[womblelancs]

I don't need sneaky ways to get more fruit and yoghurt into them. In fact, I could really do with sneaky ways to stop DSD2 eating all the fruit she can get her hands on. She's in danger of turning into a strawberry!

[mave]

Homemade soups, blended vegetables in pasta!

[sandy31]

Smoothies are our saviour, you can put so nylon things in one of these, they do not realise just what they are drinking.

[Peoniesandcats]

Put on a platter of fruit, looks visually attractive especially for dessert

[Cailin7]

DCs all love fruit and yoghurt and eat lots of it each week. The problem I have with the younger DCs is vegetables. so fussy. Soups are one of our ways.

[CopperPan]

We cut up fruit and make skewers which always appeals to the dc. I throw lots of random veg into curries and stews which they often don't notice. We have smoothies a lot at home too.

[Lisapaige24]

Smoothies it’s genius kids don’t even know it’s actually fruit believe it or not

[Calphurnia]

Fruit & veg offered with every meal, and leaving it out on the table so it's what's eaten on the go.
An expectation that a new fruit or veg is tried. And favourites always available.
Pickup from school with a pot of fruit & veg for the walk/ buggy board home

Yoghurt, don't even need to try! I just need it to be in recyclable packaging, and be less sugary

[phillie1]

Puree the fruit and freeze them into ice lollies

[PutYourBracesTogether]

Mine love making fruit kebabs. There is always a competition to see who can cram the most fruit on.
Also being in charge of chopping and peeling a fruit plate/salad is popular and smoothies are always a winner.

[Mummy2aRockstar]

My son is pretty good at eating apples or bananas but for variety I'll make him a smoothie or a smiley face out of strawberries.

[Ranita]

Having ready chopped fruit in the fridge helps when my boys need a snack NOW! A bit of yoghurt in a bowl and chopped fruit dropped on top always goes down a treat here

[IToldYouIWasFreaky]

When DS was a toddler, the best way to get him to try anything new was to do a plate of "bits and bobs", especially at lunchtime or for a snack. So, a few familar favourties like cubes of cheese, bits of breadstick, cherry tomatoes or cucumber etc then I could add something different like bits of beetroot or radish and he'd be likely to at least try it.
For fruit, he was always much more likely to eat it if it was cut up, especially in combination with another fruit, like a mini fruit salad. He'd never be that keen on munching on an apple, but if it was cut into pieces with some slices of pear too, he'd happily have it.
Even now at 10 he prefers his fruit cut up and finds a bowl of fruit salad much more appealing than eating the equivalent of whole pieces of fruit.

Blending fruit and yoghurt into a smoothie often with a sneaky portion of veg too

[Wishingandwaiting]

No sneakiness here.

If I serve a new veg, say beetroot, then I will simply serve a tiny portion, as in half a mouthful. I say I expect it to be tried. It can be a crumb, but it will be tried.
And because the size is so tiny, they do try it.
The following day I serve again. And so on.

It’s worked time and time again. My two would live in fruit and veg given half the chance

[georgedawes]

Fruit smoothies are the best for getting kids to eat lots of fruit and yoghurt! Fruit kebabs are a big hit here too.
