Secret Agent Recipes

What is a Secret Agent Recipe? It is a recipe that contains a hidden (secret) ingredient that adds nutritional power to a recipe without adding flavor to it. The key is to start with very small amounts and work your way up. This is a great way to deal with picky eaters without adding in the fussing and fighting.

-in case  you are wondering if I ever tell my kids what the secret ingredient is, the answer is yes. But not right away. I wait for them to have the recipe a couple of times and start to get comfortable with it. Then  we talk about what the secret ingredient is and how it helps you feel better (stronger,run faster,etc) and we discuss how isn’t it great if you don’t like something that you can still get the benefits of eating it without having to taste it?

When I first started out trying to help my family become healthier this is the route I went. They now know about all the recipes and are ok with it. They know I stick puree into recipes to help them become healthier. It was a gradual process with us to get where we are now. I encourage you to find out what works for your family!
