How to sneak in some broccoli?
Before the GFCF diet, my son would only eat very few select foods. He wouldonly eat McDonald’s nuggets, not the ones I made at home. When I startedthe GFCF diet, I also started him on a regimen of olive leaf extract andthat really seemed to increase his appettite for other foods. Somethingabout the magnesium that helps. I would sneak it in the very first bite ofapplesauce. Now he’ll actually eat completely unseasoned, unbreaded chickenbreast, pork chops, and many other meats that I bake at home! He would eventolerate salad for a short period of time. However, lately I have also hada problem with getting veggies into my son’s diet. I’ve started juicingthem. I throw in broccoli, carrots and an apple and he’ll drink it. Itdoesn’t produce much liquid, but it is chock full of vitamins, so getttinghim to drink a couple of swallows isn’t too bad. Besides, the apple coversmost of the taste from the other veggies. You could maybe add organic honeyor cane sugar for taste. Make sure to put it in a cup that’s not clear.Maybe use a lid and a straw. My son was turned off by the color (peagreen!). Juicers have gotten pretty affordable. I actually use the MagicBullet (as seen on tv). It’s not the greatest juicer, but it works.
