If you’ve ever offered a low-key bribe to get your little ones to eat their greens (okay, or a trip to Disney), you know the frustration and anxiety parents and caregivers face around kids’ nutrition.
“Are they eating enough?”
“Are they getting the right nutrients?”
“Why won’t they eat anything green??”
“Am I failing as a parent???”
“WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE ANYWAY?!”
We feel you.
The good news: It is possible to help kids get the nutrients they need without everything being perfect. Because let’s face it: When does that ever happen?
We’ve worked with over 150,000 clients—many of whom are parents and guardians looking to bring more peace to mealtime and more greens to their fridge.
Here’s what we tell them: You don’t need to win the Best School Lunch contest, make the world’s healthiest family dinners, or demand your kids eat a heaping plateful of vegetables.
Instead, we recommend another approach: Be gently persistent, and take the long view.
When kids have some choice and control, a basic understanding of why nutrition matters, and a safe, low-stress environment to try some food experiments… a lot can change. (For the better.)
Check out the infographic below for nine ways to help your little ones make healthier food choices on their own.
Plus, five recipes that draw on family-favorite foods that most kids will love. No bribery required.

Want help becoming the healthiest, fittest, strongest version of you?
Most people know that regular movement, eating well, sleep, and stress management are important for looking and feeling better. Yet they need help applying that knowledge in the context of their busy, sometimes stressful lives.
Over the past the past two decades, we’ve used the Precision Nutrition Coaching method to help over 150,000 clients lose fat, get stronger, and improve their physical and mental health… for the long-term… no matter what challenges they’re dealing with.
It’s also why we work with health, fitness, and wellness professionals (through our Level 1 and Level 2 Certification programs) to teach them how to coach their own clients through the same challenges.
