Is it ok for kids not to get a serving of fruit and veggies daily?

My kids don't eat much veggies and fruits.  Ok lang ba yon?  Sometimes they eat banana, papaya, kangkong and carrots but not regularly. Meal times becomes a bit stressful kasi when I force them to eat veggies kaya sometimes I let it pass na lang.  I figured ako din naman I'm not a veggie eater when I was a kid (kangkong lang) but now I can't eat without veggies in the meal.  Ok lang ba yon?

my 15 month old doesn't eat veggies regularly. not that he's choosy but depende kasi yun sa ulam namin. i usually alternate it with fish and chicken. minsan naman, yung fish and chicken sinasamahan ko ng gulay. fruit nga nya banana madalas.

as long as they are eating okay na yon kaysa naman wala di ba? my 27 month old ganyan din, may araw na type na type fruits may days ayaw. It helps to keep it on the table/kitchen counter to serve as a reminder or as a snack alternative, lalo na ang bananas.My daughter eats a wide variety of fruits and veggies-bananas,apples,pears,watermelon,pears,broccoli etc...maybe you can give it to them in a way na hindi gaano halata na fruits yun-like in a smoothie (make it with lowfat yogurt) or freeze it as ice popsicles.all natural na fun to eat pa!

My daughter super hirap pakainin ng veggies ngayon. Potatoes and munggo lang kinakain nya. Pero she eats a lot of fruits kaya I stock up on these.

^get her excited.Involve her in the shopping for fruits.Limit buying other snacks (cookies, snack bars, crisps, sweets, etc...) and let her watch you prepare them.If you're a bit adventurous,try making a fruit kebab- cut them in cute shapes and skewer them.Or cut them for choco fondue Until dumating time no need na for the chocolate.My daughter enjoys these e, kasi I do too!
