Follow + comment ‘PASTA’ for this veggie loaded pasta sauce to make when your toddler is going through a “no veggies” phase 🙂↕️
This veggie-loaded pasta sauce is one of my favorite ways to slap a nourishing meal on the table without my littles throwing a fitttt (yes my toddlers def have opinions just like yours do)😮💨
And no, we’re not hiding the veggies or pretending they’re not there (literally had my youngest on my hip the whole time making it). I always encourage talking about what’s IN the sauce bc repeated, low-pressure exposure is how kids learn to accept new foods over time 🤎
✨ pair it with:
chickpea, lentil or whole wheat pasta for extra fiber + iron + protein
meatballs, grilled chicken, salmon, or even crumbled tofu
parm cheese or nutritional yeast “sprinkles”
fruit on the side
Remember: Your job isn’t to get them to eat every vegetable today!! It’s to keep offering them in different ways while keeping mealtimes positive & help them engage with the food in a fun way
