Easy Ways to Add Fruits & Veggies to Your Family’s Diet

At WIC, we know how important it is to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your family’s diet! Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help the growth of your littles. 💪Luckily, there are so many creative ways of incorporating fruits and veggies into your meals! Here are a few tips to easily include fruits and vegetables in your little one’s diet.

🍝Sneak veggies into favorite dishes! Try blending them into smoothies, sauces, or batter.
