Kids love to play games, and here's a fun one we play around here called Taste the Rainbow. The object of the game is to eat 5 different colored fruits and vegetables during the course of one day. For example, you and your child could eat bananas at breakfast, green grapes for a morning snack, bright orange carrots at lunch, a purple plum in the afternoon, and some red tomatoes with dinner. The possibilities are endless!
A variation on the game is to make at least one of the fruits or veggies a new one, never before tried by your child. My girls have acquired new "favorites" by doing this.
By eating a variety of healthy foods throughout the day, and not just the same old thing, your kids will get plenty of the vitamins and minerals they need for growth and energy.
