Think your kids won’t eat greens? Try THIS clever trick

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Whether you’re blending broccoli into a pasta sauce or cramming fruit smoothies full of kale, making sure kids get the recommended amounts of green vegetables is a full time job. 

In the dash to dress up and disguise the good stuff however, you might be missing one important fact: kids like stuff that seems wild and wacky, even when it’s really very basic.

Enter the frozen pea. Yep, not only are frozen peas packed with phytonutrients, antioxidants, fibre and protein, they also taste remarkably sweet cold and have a chewable texture straight from the freezer.

Pop a handful in a bowl the next time your little ones fancy a snack and watch, incredulously, as they come back for more.
