She's pickier than she used to be though, so it's fewer veggies than I'd like.

Sometimes a veggie/fruit pouch for a snack, too. mrs. wagon on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096540 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:59:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 2096540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, always. We keep things like baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, grapes, bananas, and clementines on hand at all times. But we try to vary it up with steamed veggies and other fruits like apples and berries.

But they love fruit and veggies so it's easy. mediagirl on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096482 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:31:38 +0000 mediagirl 2096482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We try to. It's either/or at most meals, though. Fruit at breakfast, fruit and veggie at lunch, veggie at dinner.

However, he's only 10 months so he hasn't started rejecting foods yet.

Veggie at both lunch and dinner. She gets fruit at most meals too. She's really into fruit. :( yellowbird on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096277 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 10:27:24 +0000 yellowbird 2096277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She always gets one or the other. It's more often fruit because she'll eat any kind.

She usually refuses veggies, so unless I mix them in to what we are eating she doesn't eat them. I have to be better about this!

Sometimes that "veggie" is actually just olives (she's picky too) but I try to offer a fruit or veg at every meal and her afternoon snack. She usually won't eat her veggies at dinner but I feel confident that she's eating enough to make up for it the rest of the day. She eats mostly fruits though so I'm sure her sugar intake is through the roof.

But if it's the weekend and we are having grilled cheese for lunch, that's all we usually have. Snacks are almost always fruit so she gets her servings in :) travellingbee on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096068 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:04:12 +0000 travellingbee 2096068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He gets a veggie at lunch and dinner and a fruit with every meal. Too hard to come up with a breakfast veggie everyday.

Fruit is served at breakfast and as a snack. If fruit were at every meal, the kids wouldn't touch the other food on their plate. hilsy85 on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096051 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 07:32:38 +0000 hilsy85 2096051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Veggie yes, fruit no.

It's probably not the best thing because of sugar content lamariniere on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2096015 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:11:20 +0000 lamariniere 2096015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try to always have a veggie at dinner and a fruit at breakfast. They both eat lunch at daycare, but on the weekends there is also always a fruit or veggie (often it's avocado).

Tonight he "needed" more broccoli. I usually do fruit at the end of the meal or at snack.

Breakfast usually is oatmeal with either blueberries or strawberries mixed in. Blueberry pancakes are a fave when I have enough time. Lunch is pb&j, grilled cheese, or Mac and cheese for the older one and smashed avocado, cheese, and chicken sandwich or one of the above. Usually paired with frozen berries, blueberries, grapes, or a banana. Dinner is hit and miss. She loves steak, refused corn tonight, but my youngest are asparagus two nights in a row!!

So for a snack before bed he has fruit and on the weekend fruit is at least one snack. sera_87 on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095894 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:22:11 +0000 sera_87 2095894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Does fruit in yoghurt count? :silly: I always try to serve a veggie with dinner. Whether or not he eats it is up to him!

I used to make sure she had a veggie with every meal and fruit as a dessert but now that I'm feeding two kids at each meal...I'll settle for one or the other. I'm fortunate that she loves many fruits and quite a few veggies so it's really not a battle, just a matter of prepping. daniellemybelle on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095871 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:07:14 +0000 daniellemybelle 2095871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. 90% of the time she has a fruit and a veggie with each meal. The fruit is always a sure thing. Not so much the veggie! sarac on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095728 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 20:47:30 +0000 sarac 2095728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. Although, we're kind of snack all day types. So, she might have an apple in the car on the way to the museum, then a pb and j for lunch there, then a banana for a snack before dinner, and so on. regberadaisy on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095723 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 20:45:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2095723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She snacks on fruit throughout the day. There is almost always a veg with dinner. I always have her favorites on hand so those are good bets. Some nights it's not a veg she loves so she might only have a bite. But our meals always have veg. coopsmama on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095654 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 20:12:48 +0000 coopsmama 2095654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup! DS is a great eater - I lucked out. Today he had roasted cauliflower, lemon chicken, and olives for lunch. I'll take it! ShootingStar on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095653 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 20:12:41 +0000 ShootingStar 2095653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup, I think he does. We do banana and cheerios most days for breakfast, then at daycare he gets fruit and a veggie pouch with lunch, and at dinner we either eat real veggies or give him another pouch. We'd be kind of screwed in terms of veggies if we didn't rely on pouches.

Today he did wih every meal.. But sometimes he doesn't. DH is pretty particular about him having good veggies at dinner time so usually dinner he has some or at least a pouch. blackbird on "Does your LO have at least one fruit/veggie with every meal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-at-least-one-fruitveggie-with-every-meal#post-2095649 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 20:11:17 +0000 blackbird 2095649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try but it's no guarantee she wants it!
