Change the Food’s Form—Slice it, Modify it, Blend it, Squeeze it
Slice the Apple
Not long ago I had a discussion with my dad about nutrition. He shared that he liked apples but didn’t eat them unless they were cut up. He’s not one to rip into an apple without it first being sliced.
Remove the Crust
My 9 year old daughter Coco doesn’t like bread crust. I don’t like waste. She gives me her whole-wheat toast crust and we’re both eating nutritiously. Last I checked, the inner whole-grain bread is just as nutritious as the crust so as her dad seeking to help her form healthy food habits it’s a win-win.
Blend It
My wife Jules rarely peels a banana and eats it. In fact I can’t remember a single instance of her doing it in our 11 years of marriage. But Jules loves smoothies with bananas in them!
Try it Squeezed
I have never liked olives. As a kid my sister Erin would put a black olive on each of her fingers and in turn pop each into her mouth with delight. Not me. About once every year or two I try black or green olives on a pizza or in a Greek salad… I still don’t like them. I don’t know if I ever will.
However, I DO enjoy olive OIL. Extra virgin olive oil not only adds a rich, savory flavor to pan-fried veggies and meats, but it also contains mono- and polyunsaturated fats, the top two very best kind of fats.
