Encouraging Vegetables

Offering Vegetables Can:

• Help your child get important nutrients like potassium, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.

• Provide dietary fiber to help your child feel full. This makes bathroom time easier, too.

• Add color, crunch, and flavor to meals or snacks.

• Help your child develop healthy eating habits that may reduce the risk of certain diseases, like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, later in life.

Fresh, Frozen, and Canned Vegetables Are All Smart Choices

At Chester Creek Montessori, we often pair fresh vegetables with Hummus, Ranch, or as part of a work to encourage interest in trying new foods.
