Veggie Sticks: cucumber, carrots, green peppers, yellow peppers, tomatoes, celery
Hummus (with no "bad" oils such as canola)
Brown Rice Cakes (no added ingredients, besides brown rice and sea salt)
Nut butters: almond & cashew
I let the kids indulge in Peanuts Only peanut butter, which is a step up considering they've only ever had Kraft, complete with gorilla-killing palm oil and sugar. I've been delighted that YD is so willing to try new foods. She especially loved the hummus and asked for spoons of the peanut butter. OD is far more reluctant. We'll see if she manages to starve herself while we're on this diet since she only ate some carrot sticks and some rice cakes. She reneged on the cucumber and celery she promised to eat in exchange for the extra half of rice cake.
Carrot sticks and rice cakes is a good start! My picky eater wouldn't have even gone that far. It's exciting to see how the girls will adapt (and probably thrive) through the course of these changes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that my kid isn't as bad as all that. Maybe I won't be quite so hard on her next meal...
