What are we feeding these kids

I've had to go back to those puree pouches to get fruits and veggies in her. We still offer fresh and cooked, but we're not having much luck with that

I’m going through the same struggle she always ate so well until recently

I make chocolate mini muffins made with maple syrup with spinach or zucchini. When I make her smoothies I’ll drop a piece of broccoli in there. When she gets constipated, I make her oat bars with pulverized nuts, a variety, Chia seeds, a bunch of dehydrated prunes and dates and she loves that

Yup I’m pureeing veggie and fruit smoothies and looking into muffin recipes that I can sneak some veggies into lol

My toddler was a world class eater until a month ago, and we are struggling! We've started giving pureed fruit/veggies- essentially homemade pouches. And we're giving some opti-gro pediasure to make sure she gets her protein since she's boycotting essentially all meat, protein, eggs and oats 🙄

It's absolutely a phase and will be over soon enough, but I don't remember it being quite so intense with my older child.

My toddler is big on me mixing peanutbutter and plain Greek yogurt to dip apples into. I started it to get him a little extra protein.

We also like banana pancakes: mash 1 banana, mix in 1 egg, then 1/8 cup flour and some cinnamon. Cook em up in a pan like pancakes. We make tiny ones he eats as snacks. It sneaks in a whole egg (6g protein) and sometimes I’ll mix plain greek yogurt with just the smallest bit of maple syrup for sweetness for him to put on top (extra protein).

And then for veggies, lots of sauces. For example we’ll boil peas til soft then blend with a little pasta water, Parmesan, salt or whatever else you wanna add and put it on pasta. He loves that. And we’ll do sauce that way with other veggies too: carrots, beets, red peppers. Often won’t eat veggies. Will always eat sauce. lol
