I get asked sometimes what to do for your children when everything you have tried has not worked. Your child will simply not eat any or very little fruits and vegetables. Kids can be very picky eaters and stubborn, too.
I always recommend continued patience and don't give up trying to introduce fruits and vegetables in different experiences that can be really fun for kids. Like planting a vegetable and involving the child so they can see it grow from a little seed. That can really pique their interest.
But in the meantime, how do you ensure your child is getting the necessary vitamins and minerals they need that only comes from fruits and vegetables. Although fresh is best, sometimes a child does need a supplement.
I am not an expert at supplements but there is one that my husband and I take every morning and one that I buy for my grandniece who is five years old. And that is Juice Plus. It is not a manufactured vitamin but actually made from 17 fruits and vegetables.
As I said, it is not a vitamin or mineral, it is actually whole food supplement. It is made from 17 different fruits and vegetables that are juiced and then dried at low temperatures so that the water and sugar, salt and the bulk are removed leaving just the concentrated powder from the fruits and vegetables. This powder is put inside capsules and chewables for kids.
I am not paid to tell you about this special nutrient. I just really believe in the importance of fruits and vegetables and wanted to share with you something that my family takes to get all our nutrients. I do eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day but sometimes I don't get all the servings my body needs. I know my little five year old is one of those very stubborn picky eaters. That was when I found out they also had a the kids chewables Juice Plus.
When I find a healthy snack or in this case, supplement that I really think is great, I want to pass that on to you.
Here is a link to their general Juice Plus website where you can get more information about their kids chewables and all the research and science behind their product.
