Kids love vegetables when served the way they like them whether fresh or blended and added to their favorite dish. Why add vegetables:
- To use up raw vegetables in your refrigerator.
- To add vegetables when you or your child doesn’t eat them otherwise.
- To add color to your meal.
- To eat more vegetables.
