I agree it is definitely worth offering them vegetables that they wouldn't normally eat and asking them to take a bite. I often put cucumber in sandwiches and both of my boys went through long stages of removing it from their sandwiches before they eventually ate it!

Soups and smoothies are excellent for this aren't they!
I would always offer small portions of the vegetables the kids didn't like as a matter of course and would ask that they try one bite if they could- this is the French way- which is an expectation that kids eat what the adults do. having said that if there was a vegetable they really didn't like they would not be forced but here was an underlying expectation that this was what was available . Sounds rather black and white but it works, none of my children are fussy eaters now. Rebecca @ Natural Mothers Network x
