Page Content Tips for Offering a Variety of Foods
- Mix it up. Change your typical foods. Try something new with your family like fresh pineapple, green peppers, low-fat cheese, canned salmon, or a whole wheat pita with hummus.
- Let your child choose a new vegetable to add to soup. Only an adult should heat and stir hot soup.
- Add different ingredients to your typical salads. Try adding mango, Swiss chard, or tuna to your green salad.
- Vary the cereals, types of bread, and sandwich fillings you buy week to week.
- Add fruit to your preschooler’s breakfast by using it to top cereal.
- Put rinsed and cut fruits and vegetables on a shelf in your refrigerator where your child can see them.
