How much veggies does your toddler eat?

Question

My son is almost 3 and he usually eats at least a small portion of a dark green veggie  (usually broccoli or spinach) as well as some cauliflower or carrots at least once a day. He also snacks on some kind of veggie and/or fruits throughout the day. But should I be trying to get him to eat more veggies? How much vegetables does your young one eat?

Answer

Sounds about right. My little girl is almost 3. She usually has a banana with or just after her breakfast. She then has strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and apple to snack on through the day. With her sandwich at lunch time she likes to have sticks of red or orange pepper, a little tomato and some cucumber. For dinner she has at least one veg, carrot/asparagus are her favourite, but she will eat any veg except sprouts. 
It is important to give a variety of coloured fruits and veg, which it seems you are. A lot of the green veg contain very similar vitamins and nutrients, but orange veg contain different etc.

You are doing really well. Maybe try the pepper and cucumber with lunch if you are worried little one isn't getting enough.

Answer

Wow that sounds like an awsome diet. My three year old doesnt eat the color green. Like at all. He is on the spectrum tho so maybe thats why but I am totally jealous of what a healthy eater u have
