Blending veggies into sauces or soups, meat loaves, etc. Course if they're like most of my dcks they wouldn't eat those either!
My own used to be so picky when they were little and I tried all the tricks out there back then. They started eating veggies when they were good and ready. Now they're more adventurous than I am in their eating. Course they're adults.
I have a couple dcks who would have as many veggies as I let them, then 2 toddlers who eat some but not many and an almost 3 yo who doesn't eat any veggies. I figure if they're getting plenty of fruits, esp. the 'better for you' fruits then they're probably doing okay.
Popsicles are a good idea! I've tried smoothies, but the 3 yr old gets weirded out by them and rarely finishes, and they are too messy for the little girl. I keep meaning to try dips but always forget to buy something when I go grocery shopping. I tried homemade guacamole the other day and that was a no go. Its my son's (3) favorite and I thought if it was on a chip it would be an instant hit...nope.
