\"VeggieLet\u2019s see a \u2018raise of hands\u2019 \u2013 how many of you have kids who act like eating vegetables is worse than going to the dentist or doctor?<\/p>

Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s one of the most common parenting challenges out there.<\/p>

Parents know that kids need the nutrients that vegetables provide, but sometimes it\u2019s easier to just not fight with them and let them skip that dish of broccoli, spoonful of spinach, or whatever it may be.<\/p>

And, while tricking kids isn\u2019t always the greatest parenting tactic, in this case, it\u2019s for a good cause. In other words, when it comes to your kids\u2019 nutrition, all\u2019s fair.<\/p>

One of the easiest ways to \u2018trick\u2019 kids into eating those veggies is to include them in a smoothie. More than likely, if you use a few smart maneuvers, they\u2019ll never even know they\u2019re in there.<\/p>

Even if your kids question why their smoothie is green (in the case where you use spinach, kale, or other green vegetable), you can come up with a witty answer. Tell your kids you decided to celebrate St. Patty\u2019s Day every day, or something silly and fun like that.<\/p>

Another trick to remember is that some ingredients actually diffuse the green color; ingredients like berries and carrots can remove some of the questions about whether there are hidden veggies involved.<\/p>

Also, fresh tomatoes, when blended, turn a pink or coral color, doing a great job of disguising the green color associated with those dreaded veggies.<\/p>

And, just a few more tricks to make smoothies more fun for kids. Serve smoothies in a kid\u2019s cup and use a crazy straw with it. Make it appealing for kids and they\u2019ll be more likely to forget about whether or not there are veggies in there.<\/p>

Have your kids name the smoothie recipes with something fun and easy to remember.<\/p>

Okay, now let\u2019s look at smoothie recipes with hidden veggies. Notice we skip using any veggie names in the titles \u2013 your secret is safe!\u00a0 I hope you\u2019ll find these recipes helpful.<\/p>
