How do you get your kids to eat their 5 a day? Let us know for your chance to win a beautiful hamper!

By Perfectly Happy Mum, on October 24th, 2011

Vegetables and fruits, aren’t they most parents pet hate? Yet we are all aware of how important it is for our children to eat their 5 a day. We all want the best start in life for our children but we don’t want the daily fight that it can sometimes lead to when we become increasingly worried by the low or non existant amount of fruits and vegetable they eat.

Green Giant is asking us parents to share our best tips to help our kids eat the right nutrients they need to grow healthy and strong.

Personally I am very lucky to have boys who like lots of different fruits but when it comes to vegetable it gets more difficult. The solution I have found is making soups. They love it, so when I realise that they are not eating enough I make soups with different vegetables. It is quite easy to mix vegetables, a yummy low salt stock and a few spices and blend it. Serve it with a dash of double cream and it goes down like a treat.
