This is a great broccoli recipe to make with kids because they can practice cutting and breaking broccoli florets into pieces. The pieces then get cooked and blended so it doesn’t matter if they are all the same size. This green soup is great served with grilled cheese for dipping, crackers, or plain toast. You can also top it with a little extra cheese or some broccoli “sprinkles”!

Sometimes soup is difficult for children to eat with a spoon so give them some other "tools" to try their soup with. Examples include a straw (those large silicone straws work great for soup), a large scoop from a protein powder container, and dippers such as grilled cheese or crackers.

These yummy sweet potato quiche bites are sweet and savory and a great on-the-go breakfast, snack, or even healthy lunch box component!

This is a very flexible recipe, we suggest bell pepper & cheese as the quiche filling but ask your child, "What veggie would you like in the quiche?". Great options include broccoli, shredded carrot, spinach, tomato, and more! Giving children some control over what goes in the mini quiche bites will make them more likely to try them when they come out of the oven.

What is food chaining? Food Chaining is a child-friendly treatment approach that helps introduce new foods while building on the child’s past successful eating experiences. In this process, the child is presented with new foods that may be similar in taste, temperature, or texture to foods the child already likes and accepts. If your child likes pretzels dipped in hummus, they may be open to trying cucumbers dipped in hummus!
