Hidden vegetable recipes part 1 – meals

30 hidden vegetable recipes for every meal of the day. Perfect for picky eaters or anyone who wants to get closer to eating their five a day.

Do your kids eat their five a day? One of my kids is a picky eater and getting him anywhere close to five portions of fruit and vegetables a day is almost impossible. No matter how many times I serve up vegetables they get ignored. 

That’s where these hidden vegetable recipes come in. Adding an extra portion of veg to main meals, smoothies, breakfast and puddings all helps to improve his limited diet. Yes, I will keep on serving up unhidden vegetables but as he’s now gone eight years without eating any it makes me feel better knowing that he’s getting some of their nutrients even if he doesn’t always know it. Hopefully one day he’ll eat them willingly!

Today I am sharing with you 30 hidden vegetable recipes for meals from Sneaky Veg and from some of my blogging friends – part 2 of this series is hidden vegetable recipes for snacks.
