Here are some of their responses:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; My kids like to dip their veggies in something &#8211; salad dressing, hummus, or ketchup.<br \/>\n&#8211; Might also try Indian curries.<br \/>\n&#8211; Try different profiles &#8212; southwestern, Asian etc. Nutritional yeast has cheesy vibe and is much better than salty stuff.<br \/>\n&#8211; Garlic!<br \/>\n&#8211; Dr. Greger has a spice mix that I use and the kids love it.<br \/>\n&#8211; I find they prefer them unseasoned. Maybe a dipping sauce helps but no spices.<br \/>\n&#8211; I don&#8217;t need spices and herbs to get my kids to eat their veggies. They have been eating them since they ate solid foods and they like just about all of them.<br \/>\n&#8211; She prefers them plain but sometimes with hummus or cooked veggies with cheesy sauce or just Earth Balance spread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VRG&#8217;s Parents and Kids Facebook Group VRG\u2019s Parents and Kids Facebook Group is a forum for veggie parents to ask questions and share answers.
