Super Participants (2+ times/week)
- Fresh, raw veggies with or without dip (cucumbers and carrots always, celery and grape tomatoes frequently, bell peppers occasionally; when there's an assortment, we tell the kids to take 2 kinds. They LOVE cucumbers, and my hubby loves carrots, so those are guarantees. A good amount for a preschooler is 3 slices/sticks of something--more if they'll eat it!)
- Fresh fruit (sometimes one option, sometimes an arrangement of what's left in the crisper; orange wedges, grapes, and apple slices are all good palate cleansers and help remove the "need" for something sweet after a meal. Serve the fruit plate near the end of the meal.)
- Baked sweet potatoes (topped with some butter)
- Baked white potatoes (topped with butter, salt, and pepper) OR steamed/boiled new potatoes
- Steamed broccoli or frozen green beans
- Boiled/simmered frozen green peas or frozen baby lima beans
- Salad
