TODDLER VEGGIE PACKED PASTA

If you have a picky toddler, you know how difficult lunch options can be! I decided to whip this up with what I had on hand. You could omit or add items as you please....I like the veggie/calcium combo! Alphabet pasta is also a good alternative for babies Store the leftovers for two days and serve as a side or meal!

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to directions, I always boil it a minute longer for younger toddlers. Add pasta to serving dish and mix with olive oil and cheddar cheese.
  • Steam veggies according to directions.
  • Heat sauce according to directions.
  • In food processor or blender add veggies, sauce, and cream cheese. Blend well. Sauce will be thick.
  • Stir sauce in with pasta and serve.

2 cups mini farfalle pasta or 2 cups other small shell pasta
1 jar of prepared pasta sauce
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups steam in the bag frozen mixed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli and carrots)

TODDLER " HIDDEN VEGGIE" SMOOTHIE

My toddler won't eat his veggies...yes, I've tried repeatedly with various items. A friend suggested making smoothies and putting veggies in it. I poo poo'd it (to myself) until I FINALLY tried it last week. Needless to say, he's had (AND FINISHED) smoothies every day. I've given him kale, spinach, carrots, and sweet peas so far. I now buy a bunch of frozen fruits, berries, and veggies and keep them in the freezer. When I feel Mr. Picky needs a shot of veggies I make him one of these smoothies and he usually gobbles it up. However, depending on your child and which combo you choose to put in there he may reject it. Experiment and enjoy!

Steps:

  • Pour milk into the blender.
  • Add banana, sugar/honey/other, and then whatever frozen veggies AND a fruit to the blender. ***The key is you want to not go higher than halfway up a 5 cup blender or it gets too thick. Add milk or OJ if it gets too thick.
  • Put blender on a high setting and let it go at it for a good minute or two. Pulse a few times to make sure it's at the "right" consistency (too your liking).
  • Serve in a toddler friendly container--preferably something with a STRAW as they a) like straws and b) it helps with the intake of the smoothie. Do NOT put it in a sippy cup. Last warning -- my son had fresh kale in the first 3-4 of these I made and had some wicked black poo for days. Lets just say that was the end of the kale episode. ;).

TODDLER VEGGIE PODS

My daughter loves these with some homemade hidden-veggie chicken nuggets! It's the only way I can get her to eat her veggies--HAPPILY. :D These freeze really well, too, so you can freeze the extras and use as a quick fix veggie source for other meals.

20 BEST HIDDEN VEGGIE RECIPES FOR TODDLERS - MY LITTLE …

From mylittlemoppet.com
  • Cauliflower Mac and Cheese. What’s one dish that every kid loves to eat? Macaroni and cheese, otherwise known as Mac n Cheese! While this dish traditionally uses a white cheesy sauce, Our Counter Top sneaks in some cauliflower that blends in beautifully with the remaining ingredients, thanks to having the same color!
  • Veggie Egg Cups. You know how productivity experts suggest doing the biggest task on your to-do list first thing in the morning to get it out of the way?
  • Savoury Oats Vegetable Pancakes. Most kids enjoy pancakes for breakfast, but if yours are getting tired of the sweet versions, try out our savory pancake recipe.
  • Cucumber Dosa. You can easily add veggies to dosa batter, like spinach and beetroot. However, that might give you away since the color of the dosa changes dramatically.
  • Sooji Cabbage Dhokla. You can make regular dhokla. It’s nice and spongy, and fun to eat with chutney. Or you could take it a step further by adding some cabbage to it.
  • Three Cheese Cauliflower Pizza. When you think of vegetable pizzas, you probably think of a regular pizza crust topped with lots of veggies. While that description does fit the name, what we’re talking about is a little more hardcore veggie – we’re talking about a veggie pizza crust!
  • Veggie Packed Red Pasta Sauce. After mac n cheese, the next favorite kiddie pasta has got to be one with a red sauce! Generally, red pasta sauce contains just tomato and herbs, but this particular recipe from My Purple Plants has lots more!
  • Multi Millet Apple Carrot Pancakes. When you think about sneaking things into pancakes, most parents think about fruit, like mashed banana or applesauce.
  • Mixed Vegetable Stuffed Paratha. You can have aloo parathas, or gobi parathas. But Spice India Online tells us that we don’t need to restrict ourselves to any one vegetable when we can have them all!
  • Beetroot Brownies. If all else fails, there’s always dessert! And if you thought you could include only fruits and not veggies in dessert recipes, think again!
