Do you have a picky child and you just can’t get him to eat anything healthy? I know I do! Ever since my son was a toddler it has been a challenge finding ways to feed him nutritional meals. Now that he is 14 years old things haven’t changed much. There are a few fruits he eats but most of the time he chooses not to eat them. Instead, he prefers to eat anything that is sweet. I am lucky he loves shakes but the only fruits I’m allow to add to them are banana, strawberries, melon and kiwi. Although many times he does not drink it all.
Because of the way he eats I decided to add supplements like Genesis Today Superfoods and Superfruits into his food and drinks. This strategy has helped a lot because he cannot tell the difference. And off course I don’t plan to tell him, because if I did, he would refuse to eat it.
How To Trick Your Picky Child To Eating Healthy
One of my son’s favorite breakfast meals is pancakes. I tried giving him whole wheat pancakes but he refuses to eat it. Instead I decided to add Genesis Total Nutrition Superfood and Goji 100 Superfruit into the pancake mix. At first I thought he was going to notice but he didn’t. He actually told me his pancakes tasted delicious!

I don’t have children, but I am the one who is picky! I loved your dish and I would love to try this Goji 100, I need nutritious food, cause there are days I only eat junk food… I know, very bad 🙁 Hope you have a lovely day!
Yes Denise Genesis Today Super Foods would help get you nutrients you are not getting. Hope you had an amazing day too 🙂
Now I want pancakes especially these great way to have a child eat healthy. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you Jackie, you too 😀
I have one grandchild that is the pickiest eater I’ve ever seen. His mom has tried everything – except this. I’m going to share this post with her so she can check out these superfoods.
I know how she must feel. Thank you Alli 😀
A great way to sneak some goodness into an irresistable treat.
Great to hear you think so Laura! 🙂
This is a great idea. My picky child will not drink smoothies so I can sneak this way.
It worked for me Tara… I’m sure it will work for your picky eater too 😀
These pancakes sound great! I remember I loved whole wheat bread & trying to describe it to my mom!
It does tate good Heather! Eating whole wheat and whole grain is such healthier choice 😀
Wow I’m interested in this for me as well. A way to quickly get healthy in, even on days I get no time to eat.
I know it a great for anyone not just for kids 😀
These pancakes look so delicious! My son would love it.
They sure are tasty 😀
Oh my family love pancakes.
Mine does too 😀
Picky eaters can be so hard to ensure they get proper nutrition. I never thought of goji before. Great tips
So true Debbie and you’re welcome 😀
I think it’s good to have alternatives especially if it’s this healthy! My kids love pancakes too, so this is perfect! Thanks for the very detailed recipe!
You’re welcome Elizabeth! 😀
I was a piccky eater, I’m pretty sure my mom did this too 🙂
LOL, me too Momina! I learn this from my mom because when I was younger I was a picky eater too until I got older and realized the importance of eating healthy 🙂
My kids have always eaten everything. My family has auto immune diseases such as Celiac and Diabetes so we started from the beginning to eat healthy as a preventative issue. But adding some extra probiatics is good to do especially when dealing with gut issues! I will have to look into these two items for my kids.
Sorry to hear about your diseases Kandi. But is great to hear your kids eat healthy without any trouble.
I definitely entered to win. We’ve got picky eating central going on over here.
Good luck Rosey! 😀
I’m so glad that I don’t have a picky kids, they all love foods.
You are so lucky Victoria 😀
Hmm…when I was a kid I was so picky …i guess that’s why I’m also now :))
LOL, thank God I got over it. I used to be too 😀
My oldest is the picky eater. My youngest will eat about anything, or will at least try everything. My oldest won’t even try some things if they don’t look good to her. It’s meat that I normally have trouble getting her to eat.
I know how you feel Kathy! Maybe you should try giving her products with protein other than meat 🙂
This is a great idea. My oldest is very picky so I am going to have to apply these tips next time I make dinner.
That is the only way I can get my son to eat healthier is by tricking him. 🙂
This is great! I can’t get my daughter to eat anything healthy to save me. Some days I’m lucky if she’ll eat anything other than crackers.
I know how you feel Kathy!
Oooh pancakes are awesome! i love this recipe. Hahah i used to be a picky eater when i was younger too so i get this post.
Me too Enrcoh lol 🙂
I am literally waiting to hit publish on a post about this very topic. Living with a picky eater is definitely tough. I have had to be sneaky as well.
Great minds think alike Tiffany 😀
I always want my kids to stay active with healthy foods, but one of my them is so picky and it is always hard to manage her. I love those Pancakes so much and the idea of adding those Genesis ingredients might work great too!
My son is really picky and it really worked for me. 🙂
I didn’t have a picky eater always, but every once in awhile some child needed some encouragement to eat. It was quite the thing 🙂
Very good tips
And we do love the pancakes so much
Thank you Colette 😀
