How To Sneak Veggies Into Your Child’s Favourite Foods

Sneak vegetables into your child's favorite dishes by adding vegetables like carrots for tacos, pureed vegetables for pasta sauce, blended avocado paste into smoothies, and topping pizza with  bell peppers. You can even mix veggies into homemade desserts like brownies by adding grated carrots or sweet potatoes into it for a healthy twist without affecting its taste or texture. Your child won’t notice the difference but it sure will make a nutritious difference to their diet.
