[quote=Anonymous]Try pancakes made with 2T flax meal and a scoop of vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder mixed in -- you can see the flax meal, but there's no texture or taste to it, and the protein powder flavor is not overwhelming at all (it adds a sort of sweet malty flavor).

Also, google around for mini muffin recipes with fruit/veg in them -- I do zucchini muffins, and also these crazy green muffins that incorporate a spinach/strawberry/banana smoothie puree (DS thinks they have green food coloring in them).  The key is to puree the fruit and/or veggies until they are completely smooth.  You can also add flax meal to the muffins for extra omega 3's and fiber.  Put 3 chocolate chips atop each mini muffin, to help distract and encourage consumption!

If she'll eat scrambled eggs, mix in some small curd cottage cheese (you could also hit the cottage cheese with an immersion blender to really grind it up).  No taste, no real difference in texture, but you're adding protein and vitamin D.  You can also add cottage cheese to pancake mix, in lieu of some of the liquid, but it does change the texture/taste a little bit so you'd want to play around (for me, the immersion blender plus some vanilla extract works great).

Finally, will she eat red sauce on her pasta?  If so, again google around for recipes.  You can get a lot of different veggies -- and thus a lot of fiber/nutrients -- into red sauce without really changing its taste or texture at all.  I've made some with butternut squash, zucchini, and spinach all ground up with the tomatoes and spices.  Again, the immersion blender is your friend here.
