Make Vegetables for Kids More Fun!

So, I’ve said it over and over again: my kids are PICKY EATERS.  Well, my older two (ages 5 and 7) are coming along and trying new foods now.  But my toddler is currently king of picky eater-town.  So I am no expert on kids’ nutrition.  And apparently I’m not the only one; According to Birds Eye‘s State of the Plate Report, 9 out of 10 people in the United States do not get the proper amount of vegetables.  So Birds Eye is teaming up with celebrity chef and host of the Food Network’s The Picky Eaters Project, Melissa d’Arabian, to get kids eating more veggies.  I was inspired by this crazy statistic and the Birds Eye initiative to find some ways we can make vegetables for kids more fun and “edible!”  Here’s what I’ve found…

More About Birds Eye Vegetables for Kids

Vegetables for Kids - Ideas for Making Veggies More Fun and Tasty + a SIMPLE Ham and Veggie Kabob Lunch at B-Inspired Mama [#sponsored #ILikeVeggies #CleverGirls]

Frozen Birds Eye Vegetables are my go-to here in our home, because they’re convenient and always fresh.  My new favorite way to serve them is with leftover ham chunks and cut up string cheese on a skewer.  The kids get a kick out of their Ham and Veggie Kabobs!  I love that they are eating healthy, and I love supporting a company that is so involved in helping moms and their kids eat healthier, too.

Birds Eye continues to make eating more vegetables a reality by showing families how to fill half the plate with veggies in fun and simple ways moms and kids will both like. By providing moms with more than 40 unique vegetable blends year round at affordable prices, Birds Eye continues to be her ally in the dinnertime   dilemma.

Here are some more tips for getting those veggies in your kiddos from Melissa d’Arabian:
