My 25mo toddler is rejecting all kinds of greens and very picky with food. When she is much younger, we cook porridge with fish/chicken/smash vegs now shes getting older, we bring her out for meal and she basically just refused to eat greens! Any advice anyone?

Oh do not worry! This is something that many parents face. I agree with what Sonika suggested. I would either decorate them into fun shapes so that they enjoy eating them as is. Or if they are too fussed about the particular food item, hide it in various recipes as a mash or paste. Make sure you do not strain such pastes to avoid losing the nutrients. I find soups the best way to hide food along with mixed Pizza (with a dosa base instead)

If your cutie refuses to try fruits and veggies, sneak them in. Purée cauliflower and hide it in the mashed potatoes. Blend carrots or squash into pancakes and waffles. Spaghetti sauce makes a great cover for spinach, eggplant, and zucchini. Go crazy with the blender: Toss in any kind of fruit and mix up a yogurt smoothie or milk shake and whip up your own v8 juice. Dice up fruits and serve them over yogurt (call it a sundae).

You should try making some creamy soups or even mix it i veggies or meat :) I make this spinach banana smoothie which my nephew loves to drink. I just blend some raw spinach with bananas in milk and its ready :)

I blend veggies to bits and cook them as creamy soups, or pasta sauce. Kids can't see the chunky green stuff and will happily gobble it up :)

You can reward your child after eating green vegetables or try to make different and tasty vegetable reciepes

thanks
