It is the rare child who begins their solid food adventures craving broccoli, despite the fact that it’s full of fiber, vitamins and even a good amount of protein – all things our bodies SHOULD be crying out to consume. Truth is, we seek out what tastes good, no matter the impact on our health and waistlines.
PS – Stock image providers – I am suspicious of all your images of children looking overjoyed about broccoli. I believe these may have been staged. 
So, what’s a concerned parent to do? Well, you can try sneaking broccoli in to omelets, casseroles, soups, or covering it in melted cheese – a classic choice. Over time, you’ll likely be able to decrease the ratio of cover food to broccoli until your little ones love eating “baby trees” au naturale. It’s about giving your kids what they want AND what they need. And sometimes it just takes a little parental subterfuge to get to both.
