What to try when your little one eont eat fruit

One of my top tips for first time moms is to start your baby on vegetables before fruit when starting solids.

I did this so well in fact, that my son still loves his vegetables, especially broccoli and peas. However the issue I had later on though was, he hated fruit!

After consulting with my go-to mommy expert, I did the following things that did work.

1) Make fruit ice-lollies! They think its a treat and not "yucky fruit". Worked like a charm.

2) Fruit snacks! Checkers has the most amazing range that was actually designed by Gordon Ramsay and his daughter. They're healthy snacks but look like sweets and my son loves them, they're his during the week "treat". Genius!

3) This actually happened by accident, I can't eat breakfast, so instead, I have a morning smoothy every day, guess what, your kids want whatever you have. So now my son has some of my morning smoothy  (1 banana, 1 green Apple, 1 red Apple, a quarter cup of frozen blueberries and full fat double cream vanilla yoghurt with about 300mls of water)

Give these tips a try and let me know if they work for you or what else has worked for you.

Here's my special broccoli recipe which got my son hooked on vegetables early on,

1 head of broccoli

1 head of cauliflower 

A little bit of grated cheese

A little full cream dairy milk

Cook the veg, strain, blend all ingredients together. Depending on the age of your little one, you can decide how smooth to blend the ingredients together.

Pour mixture into all of those unused ice trays we all have in our Tupperware cupboards and freeze. Defrost 1 or 2 cubes as needed.

Good luck parents 💪💕
