Fun and Filling Vegetable Snacks


     It is all in the presentation! Get your family to eat more vegetables by presenting them in a fun way! The benefits of vegetables are undeniable but often over looked and replaced with vegetable substitutes like V8 juice.  But don't be deceived V8 is no substitute for real veggies, it is high in sodium and uses GMOs. In fact, Campbell's Soup Co., producer of the V8 line of drinks donated $70,455 in 2012 against California's 2012 Proposition 37 Right to Know, which proposed mandatory GMO labeling in the state.

     Simply cut up peppers, cauliflower, cucumbers and carrots and display them over homemade guacamole, hummus or plain yogurt for a colorful rainbow kids can't refuse. Or get even more creative by making a skeleton of veggies! Making healthy food fun and readily available is a great way to help keep your family eating more of what they should and less  innutritious processed snacks.
