Ok, I LOVE this applesauce on the go! It is just a genius idea, wish I would have thought of it.
GoGo Squeeze/Materne is a France based company with an incredible product I know you will love. The good folks at Materne are giving 2 Picky Palate Readers 4 boxes each of their applesauce on the go! That’s 16 pouches.
My boys LOVED this applesauce on the go. I put it in their lunches and they devoured it for after school snack too. They really couldn’t keep their hands off of it. Check out GoGo Squeeze/Materne website to see where you can pick some up near you!!
You’ll see by the pictures below, I had no problem getting the boys to sample this product 🙂

Children love sweets so providing them with sweet fruits such as bananas, oranges, bananas, and strawberries will start them on the right path. Have the children help you make a smoothie using these fruits will be a fun way to have them become an active part of their healthy eating. Another tip to have children try healthy foods is to play guessing games with them. Place 2 healthy foods in front of them and encourage them to close their eyes and then try to guess the taste.
The best thing is for caregivers to be a role model.
I am a foodie friend too!

Always have cut up fruit and veggies available for quick and easy snacking (and healthy!).
all of my kids love applesauce what a great idea for after school snacks.
I’ve found that cutting things into fun shapes works with my 3 1/2 year old.
This product is awesome! My son loves applesauce, but will not eat when I send it in his lunch. I guess having to use a spoon wastes too much time:) He would love this!!
Go-Gurts are always the hit in my house!
I use dips to get my son and nephews to eat healthier snacks. Carrot sticks, apples slices, and peaches work for us.
I love all your tips! My almost 4yr old loves fruits and veggies! He will eat a whole bell pepper like an apple! My almost 2 yr old is following in his brothers footsteps too! I just have them try everything and anything, and they usually do! My 2 yr old LOVES fresh asparagus stems (uncooked) and frozen peas (uncooked). My 4 yr old loves dinos so whenever we have broccoli, we tell him they are little trees and he is a plant eater! He loves that!
I follow on facebook, too!

fruit crisps or graham crackers….since she’s only 1. 🙂
All my kids are big on smoothies…for breakfast and after school snack.
I’m already a Google reader friend!
My boy is only 6 mo. old, so not quite ready for this applesauce (shortly!) but my hubby takes applesauce in his lunch everyday…this would be great for him!
I don’t have kids, but I am always trying to find ways to sneak more healthy stuff into my diet. I have a terrible sweet tooth.
I put cheerios in my yogurt because a friend at work did the same thing. I love yogurt but didn’t eat that much because it was too smooth and I need to have a “crunch” when I’m eating.
rice cakes with peanut butter on them
My kiddo’s love baby carrots. Clementine Cutes are another big hit.
My daughter will eat anything that looks like a dip. So I have pureed many veggies and added them to other dips or just as is. She loves it!

apples and PB are a hit here!
Tell them they can dip it in mayo!

i think a big thing is to let them know the parents (both) like the food.
Good old fashion popcorn! Kiddos also like hummus and carrots. Costco now carries little self-sealed portable hummus for their lunch boxes!
