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.

🍇Keep fruit and veggie snacks easily accessible. Keep a bowl of washed grapes or baby carrots in the fridge for kids to grab when they're hungry!

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