They have tons of antioxidants and vitamins and nutrients. If there’s any time to focus on doing one’s best to get fruits and vegetables into our kids, certainly this has to be that time.”
Nieman lists a few go-to staples, such as apples, oranges, pears, mangoes, bananas and berries.
“Pulverize and disguise it and camouflage the taste — like with Greek yogurt — and get it into them,” Nieman said. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
And in these times, we should heed whatever advice that can help us keep our children healthy.
“Gurus and the people who should know about infectious diseases are saying, ‘Shucks, guys, we actually don’t know. We’re learning with you as we go along,’” Nieman added. “At first, it was the vulnerable people, but we’re seeing more and more those articles that indicate younger people are vulnerable.”
