My toddler has only ate a palm size of macaroni and cheese and a few chicken nuggets and its 2 pm! I am stressed and feel bad that my darling growing boy is not getting all the antioxidants he needs to be at optimal health! What is a mamma to do? Be SNEAKY of course (wink)! A spoon full of dip makes the veggies go down (sing that to the Mary Poppins tune) effortlessly!  I love when I find new ways to increase produce intake for my family and I. My Vegetable Dill Dip is quick and simple with a few surprise ingredients!
Vegetable Dill Dip to increase vegetable intake.
I feel like I am failing my family at times when I am not helping them to eat healthfully. Especially as a Registered Dietitian, I understand the power of the antioxidants we get in ample produce intake! A hectic lifestyle can throw a wrench in my good intentions! We are seeing an obesity epidemic in the United States with children developing disease states that used to be uncommon for them such as Type 2 Diabetes. We as parents need to and CAN MODEL healthy lifestyle by what food choices we eat and what we serve them! Our youth will learn from our example. This is a strong “why” for choosing health! This Vegetable Dill Dip with Essential Oils will help you increase produce intake in your family and takes minutes to make.
