Create and serve a crudités – a fancy word for a plate of raw sliced veggies with a dip.
The kids can munch while asking you what’s for dinner – they are getting their veggies and it rarely “spoils” their appetite.
Pre-slice the vegetables ahead of time, purchase organic baby carrots, or take a minute to slice up some favorites. Arrange them on a plate.
Heck, pull out one of those lovely serving dishes you got for your wedding – you know, the cute one with the little bowl in the middle for dip.
I usual use carrots, cucumbers, red peppers, and maybe some celery or broccoli. Toss a few walnuts or almonds around the sides. Store the uneaten slices for snacks, or to add to lunches or a salad on another day.
Any vegetable that makes it into the digestive track is an Upgrade. So is a snack that lets you get dinner done in peace!
I’d love to hear which raw veggies your kids will eat. Please post any comments below. And if you have any suggestions for a healthy dip please share!
