These days there are too many tempting adverts on TV, in comics, billboards etc which are all tailored to entice kids to their particular products. Of course we are not trying to say don’t ever buy anyone of them, but what we are trying to say is try and tempt your kids away from certain things, such as cola, fizzy drinks, sweets etc.

Most children enjoy a glass of milk, so why not try making them a smoothie for a change. This way you know that your child is getting fruit and vegetables into their diet.

A friend of mine asked her son if he would like a banana, he instantly replied “No, I don’t like them”. I suggested she make him a simple banana smoothie made from 1 banana and a large glass of fresh milk just to see if her son would drink that instead. She passed the smoothie to her son, he took a sip at first then gulped the rest down saying that he loved it! So please don’t give up trying to get your children to eat fruit and vegetables there are other ways, you just have to make them look more inviting to them.
