Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi everyone, My daughter, now 15 mo, is a picky eater. We are vegan and the only thing I can get her to eat every time is beans! I want her to have more raw food but she does not like much fruit and most raw food is very hard... with only 8 teeth in front it is difficult. Even apples are hard for her to eat. And usually she will not eat food that is mushed. So an ideas? Many thanks, Elisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Elisa -- have you tried grating apples? You can also do that with carrots, and any other hard fruits and veggies. Also, she might enjoy drinking smoothies. Heather On 16 February 2010 00:49, ejsrejsr <elisaelisa wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > My daughter, now 15 mo, is a picky eater.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I make smoothies every day and she sometimes take a few sips/bites but mostly not. She just started eating small pieces of apple. I have not tried grating other things, but I will, it is worth a shot. Right now all she wants are beans and hummus with bread. thnaks for the suggestions, I will go to your blog too for myself , " Gretchen Goel, Wellness Coach " <gretchen wrote: > > Have you tried green smoothies?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 What about a really ripe mango or pear? My kids also went for frozen fruit. You could try frozen bluberries, banana even peas too. Best of luck, Kim , " ejsrejsr " <elisaelisa wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > My daughter, now 15 mo, is a picky eater.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 My boys love small pieces of cut up raw fruit with toothpicks for fun/easy picking up and with a dip. You could have her dip it in some soy yogurt or something? Soft fruits would probably work best - cut grapes in 1/2, pears, peaches, mango, banana. As far as veggies, I have trouble with that too. My boys will eat brocolli and salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrots, celery) and that's it. Again, maybe giving her some dip?? It will get easier as she gets older and can eat more things. Good luck! .. > ____________ _________ _________ __ > ejsrejsr <elisaelisa@ ...> > @gro ups.com > Tue, February 16, 2010 12:49:09 AM > raw food for vegan 15mo old > > > Hi everyone, > > My daughter, now 15 mo, is a picky eater.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thank you all for the suggestions! She can't eat the frozen stuff yet but I am trying the other ideas and I cant wait for those big back teeth! Now I am starting to think she is just picky, LOL! But I will keep making trying all the time, sometimes she goes for it. Last night I made a pizza sauce with garlic, pine nuts, tomatoes and basil. It was so strong uncooked because of the garlic, and she like that. who knows elisa , " kimguest1 " <kimguest1 wrote: > > What about a really ripe mango or pear? My kids also went for frozen fruit.
