[quote=Anonymous]My picky 4 year old drinks a breakfast "milkshake" every morning:

1/2 banana
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp chia seeds
2 tbs peanut butter
1.4 cup chocolate powder (carnation instant breakfast is what we use)
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup whole milk or almond milk

I drizzle the top with chocolate syrup and throw a few sprinkles on there. He drinks the entire thing and sometimes has seconds.

The rest of the day, he pretty much lives off of apple slices, pirates booty and shredded cheddar cheese. He has never even entertained the idea of trying any kind of meat or vegetable.

My daughter is also picky but not quite as extreme. She is 8 so we have a rule that she has to have 3 ingredients on her breakfast plate (carb, fruit, protein). Otherwise, she would just eat a plain piece of toast with butter. Her favorite right now is a plain bagel with peanut butter and cut up strawberries. She will also eat a scrambled egg and cheese tortilla wrap or dry cereal wilth raisins and honey roasted peanuts (kind of like a trail mix of sorts)

I am so envious of my friends who have kids that just eat whatever. My husband and I are adventurous eaters who love to cook. I can't stand eating the same things two days in a row, let alone every day for the past year!. [/quote]
