If we get to obsessed with healthy meals for picky eaters, we may make the picky eating problem worse because they feel so pressured to eat better and start to associate negative thoughts about some foods.
Throw the idea of “no playing with your food” out the window; lightening the mood can make all the difference for a picky eater.

Kid Friendly Meals For Picky Eaters
Deconstructed meals are my favorite way to have a peaceful healthy meal with a picky eater. Read about why it’s so effective here.
Basically, instead of mixing everything together like a casserole, you serve it all separately. Instead of a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, you have noodles in one bowl, sauce in another bowl, and meatballs in a bowl.

Low Calorie Meals For Picky Eaters
8. Charcuterie Bar (Various crackers, deli meats, cut up veggies, dips, pickles, olives, even sweet treats laid out on a cutting board or platter)

Why Recipes For Picky Eaters Won't Solve The Problem
18. Pan fried ham, baked potato skins, and sliced pineapple rings (My kids love homemade potato skins. Simply bake your potatoes, empty the filling (serve as a side) and paint with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake again in the oven till crispy!)
19. Crispy chicken wings (sauce on the side), rolls, and corn on the cob (Break the corn on the cob in half and put it on a Popsicle stick for extra fun motivation!)
Remember I told you to think outside the box! Think untraditional to have a successful fun meal. Here are some of my favorite ideas, but don’t stop there, think about what else you can add to the list!
