An unconventional yet effective way to trick your kids into eating vegetables.

Both my kids love to eat fruit but I have a hard time getting them to eat certain vegetables.

One time I bought some sugar snap peas at the grocery store. These are possibly my favorite veggie, so I put some in a bowl and sneaked them into my mouth when my kids weren’t looking.

It’s getting harder and harder to pull the wool over their eyes as they get older, so they eventually spotted me being stealthy with some food. Even though they had no idea what I was eating, they still insisted on eating some. It’s impossible for me to sneak food then have them find out and NOT beg for some.

Now, when I want them to eat a vegetable that they won’t normally eat at the table, I’ll put them in a bowl and pretend to sneak them. My evil plan works every time. They come running and gobble those vegetables down without ever being the wiser.

This little trick might not work for that long, but it should work long enough to give them a chance to develop a palette for all kinds of veggies.3
