Nutrition for Picky Eaters

























Adventurous eating tends to lead to better nutrition, but not everyone is open to trying new foods. Picky eaters miss out on many essential nutrients because they are scared to venture off from their favorite comfort foods. It can be a challenge to introduce healthy fruits and vegetables into a picky eater’s diet. Luckily, I have a few tips to help you incorporate healthier ingredients into your picky eater’s diet and make sure their diet is just as healthy as adventurous eaters! 

1. Add fruits and veggies to a dish they already know and love! Add vegetables to classic mac and cheese or put sliced banana on their PB&J sandwich! Adding fruits and vegetables to a familiar dish will make them seem less daunting, and who knows? Maybe your picky eater will discover a new favorite (and healthy) ingredient!

2. If adding fruits and veggies isn't working try making a healthier substitution. Try switching white bread for wheat, or using applesauce instead of butter when baking. Your picky eater won’t even notice a difference!

3. A great way to get your picky eaters help and input while cooking it! Before you get cooking, set up some ground rules about how many fruits and/or vegetables the meal will have. Then let them choose those fruits and vegetables. This way, not only will they eat the healthier ingredients in the dish, but, they will actually enjoy them!

4. One of the easiest ways to get picky eaters all the nutrients they need is to give them Juice Plus+! It provides the body with whole-food-based nutrition that it needs to function best. Plus, it’s simple to add Juice Plus+ to your diet in its easy-to-take capsule or gummy form (perfect for kids!). As former US Olympic swimmer, Ariana Kukors said, “When my mom introduced me to Juice Plus+, it was really something that made a massive difference!” If an elite athlete can benefit from all the nutrients of Juice Plus+, your picky eater can too!
