If there is one quark many kids are born with, it’s a dislike for vegetables or all things green!
As a result, it puts more pressure on parents to get creative when it comes to cooking to ensure their little ones have a well-rounded diet while still enjoying their food.
So in order to make parents lives just a bit easier, we ask AI to share with us some sneaky ways to incorporate vegetables into recipes your kid will surely enjoy! Here’s what AI said:
