I'll admit, I'm terrible at this. My kids are super picky eaters so it's already a chore to get them to eat a fruit or veggie. I try and offer at least one at every meal but if it doesn't happen I don't beat myself up over it. I probably should though!
-
I try but it's no guarantee she wants it!
-
Usually! 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.
-
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.
-
Yup! DS is a great eater - I lucked out. Today he had roasted cauliflower, lemon chicken, and olives for lunch. I'll take it!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
Yes. 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.
-
Does fruit in yoghurt count?
I always try to serve a veggie with dinner. Whether or not he eats it is up to him!
-
We always serve a veggie or fruit, but that does not guarantee he eats it.
So for a snack before bed he has fruit and on the weekend fruit is at least one snack.

My 3.5 year old is such a picky eater, so I take what I get!
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!! -
I try to provide at least one of each, but whether she eats them is anyone's guess.
-
I'm more likely to get fruits and veggies in than protein! Tonight he "needed" more broccoli. I usually do fruit at the end of the meal or at snack.
-
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).
-
My kids gets some kind of fruit for every meal. It's probably not the best thing because of sugar content
-
Veggie yes, fruit no.
-
I try to provide two servings of veggies for lunch and dinner. 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.
-
I try to always give a fruit and a veggie at every meal, though he doesn't always eat them.
-
He gets a veggie at lunch and dinner and a fruit with every meal. Too hard to come up with a breakfast veggie everyday.
-
Always with breakfast and supper, and usually with lunch. 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
-
Yes. 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.
-
Fruit yes, veggie no. 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!
-
She always gets one or the other. It's more often fruit because she'll eat any kind.
-
Yes. Veggie at both lunch and dinner. She gets fruit at most meals too. She's really into fruit.
-
Yeah, I feel pretty strongly that he has a fruit for breakfast and snack and veggies at lunch and dinner. However, he's only 10 months so he hasn't started rejecting foods yet.
-
We try to. It's either/or at most meals, though. Fruit at breakfast, fruit and veggie at lunch, veggie at dinner.
-
Yes. Always. But they love fruit and veggies so it's easy.
-
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.
-
Fruit in the morning, 1-2 veggies at both lunch and dinner. Sometimes a veggie/fruit pouch for a snack, too.
-
Yes. She's pickier than she used to be though, so it's fewer veggies than I'd like.
