Healthy Eating at a Glance
I have two toddler girls (sympathy much?), and knowing what to feed them in what proportions can be a difficult task while I’m cleaning spilled yogurt while fixing dinner while looking my absolute best in my fancy t-shirt and perfectly un-coiffed hair.
I’m so glad to have discovered the kid’s plates Super Healthy Kids to help me quickly see how much of each food group to serve my kiddos. The plate gets major bonus points for being so cute and attractive to my girls. Bonus, bonus - the plate is super durable. That way I don’t have to worry if my little Trouble decides to see how far she can throw her beans and her plate together. Triple bonus - the plate is ONLY $5.99!
Amy, the President of Super Healthy Kids, says this about her plate: “It’s not about denying, depriving, measuring, disciplining etc. It can be about enjoying wonderful, whole, natural food and realizing you feel better when you eat well. And the more the kids learn, the more empowered they will be to make good choices on their own.” Amy has blog that features healthy eating tips for kids at http://blog.superhealthykids.com/. Check it out for some great tips on how to trick teach your kids to eat healthy foods.

My kids love fresh snap peas and broccoli.
SUPER cool plates! Hope I win!
Well all of my kids ADORE apples, well any fruit in general, but apples are probably their favorite and we can go through a bad in a matter of 2 days…eeks with the price of fruit these days
As far as veggies go - the 5yo and 2yo LOVE broccoli but the 30yo and 7yo do not…. (and yes I said THIRTY year old…. he’s my biggest kid)
I’m off to check out the healthy kids blog for food tips for the kiddoes - thanks for sharing!
Choose us!!! We need help in the veggie department! My son only likes raw carrots and grape tomatoes, and my daughter pretty much only likes green beans! At least they like some veggies… I know many kids out there won’t touch any at all. They LOVE fruit, which I actually have to limit here due to the vast quantities which they would consume if allowed! Cute plate– great idea!
My daughter loves broccoli
APPLES,APPLES,APPLES
Bananas
apples and banana equally!!
My daughter loves green beans and my son loves corn.

My daughter likes cucumbers!!ty 4 the nice useful contest!
Any fruit but the melons, and veggies? What are those? I believe we can get potatoes and corn on the cob in, and that is it!!!! Don’t even think about something green..ewe gross!!!! We tried brussel sprouts but couldn’t get passed the laughter when they were called “golf ball cabbages”, ahh no, they were not eaten nor is cabbage. We tries mashed cauliflower, wouldn’t ya know it DID sprout wings and fly…clear across the room, by the way the dog didn’t eat it either.

I have 2 boys. One of them loves fresh roasted asparagus!! (That’s the only vegetable I can get him to eat without a fuss!) Strange, huh? My little one, loves broccoli — really! They are both great fruit eaters. Strawberries, oranges, bananas, apples, raspberries, blackberries, etc. My oldest son, loves grapefruit- with out sugar! (Again, odd!) My youngest really likes blueberries. Cute plate, that would be a big hit in our house!!

Bananas!!
Broccoli!
For my daughter, the better question is what she doesn’t like! She doesn’t like green peppers or onions. Everything else she seems to like.
My little boy, on the other hand, leaves a lot of green on his tray. He likes carrots, and he likes corn, and he loves fruit too. I did catch him eating asparagus the other day though.
