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.

​Eat Pretty Darling developed this adorable snack for Veggie Buds Club.

Sometimes kids will surprise you and take a bite of a veggie that's not cut in a "normal" shape such as a bell pepper strip or carrot "coin". Don't be surprised if your kiddo decides to take a big bite out of the bell pepper jack-o-lantern like they'd take a bite of an apple!

Kiddos scared to try kale? Make it into a sweet monster! A smoothie bowl is thicker than a smoothie but softer than ice cream. You can add a little extra milk to the recipe and drink it if you’d prefer. Frozen bananas make this snack sweet and creamy, and you really can’t taste the kale at all. This interactive and delicious snack that’s packed with kale was created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club.

This is a silly snack that your kids will definitely be excited to eat! Make sure your little chef rips up the kale leaves and adds them to the blender, so he/she knows those super greens are in there. Have a chocolate lover or a child that prefers not to see green? Add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder and you’ve got a chocolate monster! Slice some fruit and get out toppings such as nuts or seeds and let the kiddos make silly or scary monster faces on top.

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!

Cucumber and melon make such a great flavor combination in this refreshing summer drink created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club!

​This recipe presents kids with the chance to practice those knife skills and chop up some cucumbers. Since the cucumber is getting blended in the end, you don’t have to worry about what size or shape kids cut the cucumber and melon pieces into. Throw the peeled, chopped cucumber into the blender with some melon, a little lemon juice, and a touch of sweetener (if you’d like) and blend it all up. I used a Honeydew melon to keep the blended juice green, but you can use any ripe, sweet melon for this recipe.

Kids can experience the taste of cucumber without having to chew it, so this drink is great for little ones that might be apprehensive about the texture of cucumber.

This salsa is made in a food processor, so you don’t have to worry about chopping tomatoes all day. Add a few other ingredients and you’ve got a delicious snack to eat with chips, on tacos, or with a variety of food! Homemade chips are really fun for kids to make at home (recipe below), but you can serve this salsa with store-bought chips as well.

*Please be aware that tortilla chips can be a choking hazard or are hard to chew for toddlers and kids under 4*

​This recipe was created by Happy Kids Kitchen for Veggie Buds Club.

This salsa tastes fresh and tomato-y, not spicy at all, therefore it is very kid-friendly!
Get your kids in the kitchen: they can help cut the tomatoes into rough chunks, add the ingredients to the food processor, and pulse until everything is roughly chopped.
