how to get your kid to eat spinach and salad

Piranha Boy Eats Spinach Salad

Yep, you heard right, I have decoded the child's mind and developed a way to ALLOW THEM TO ACTUALLY ENJOY SALAD!!! 

Look, it's not hidden, it's right out in the open, and it's designed out of a semi-confident act of desperation to figure out a way to get kid's to eat salad without disguising it as something else.

Introducing: The Kid's Salad

 Notice how it is simple, not mixed up, set up super special (all for them and only them,) beautifully composed in it's colorful snowflake of deliciousness...a real winner with kids and adults alike. The ingredients are fresh and comprised of our son's favorite mild cheese: a goat cheese from costco that tastes like cream cheese, (light and mild.) The fruit displayed here, are quartered frozen cherries, also bought at costco, and spinach from there too. Remember to wash and dry your fruit and produce before making your salad...even the organic stuff...it makes a HUGE difference in flavor and healthfulness. Sometimes I use dried cranberries sweetened with apple juice...(now a word about the "Crasins" that you buy at the store... read the ingredients, sometimes they have tons of sugar, and sometimes oil and dye, and if the goal is for your child to eat something HEALTHFUL...well, you do the math.) The salad below, has turned salad into part of our child's diet. It only takes about 4 extra minutes to whip up this special baby, so there's no excuse...put down your phone. You do have time!!!!!!!

Use your child's favorite ingredients' to make it super special, or try some of my ideas for toppings: yogurt and blueberries, mustard and feta, grape tomato rounds and cheddar, pesto and red pepper, hummus and an olive, strawberries and maple syrup, walnuts and oranges, cottage cheese and raspberry, I mean the possibilities are endless...I could literally go on for days, so if you need more ideas just leave a comment asking for some. If your child does not like spinach, use something else mild like squares of romaine, or green leaf lettuce. My son loves feta and yellow mustard down the center of romaine leaves...a crazy kid taco...Once you get the green in their daily eating habits, and it ceases to amaze you and those around you, it still remains a beautiful sight, normal... and beautiful.

I will be blogging more goodies soon...long live the child piranha that eats it's salad!!!
