At Cameron’s 18 month check up I was talking to his pediatrician about his picky eating habits. She suggested that a good way to get him to try some new fruits was by making smoothies. I didn’t have high hopes, but I bought some grapes and strawberries and decided to give it a try. I threw a bunch of the fruit in my Cuisinart and pureed it until smooth. Then I ran the mixture through a strainer to remove some of the seeds and make it easier for Cam to drink. It was a little thick, so I added some v8 fusion to thin it out (you could also use water).
yummy yummy!
Cameron really liked it! And now, he’s actually started eating strawberries in their whole form as well. I think the smoothie really helped him warm up to them. I’ve also been making smoothies with watermelon and raspberries too. I think any fruit would be great. Give it a try!
