How to Get Your Kids to Eat Healthy

From setting up a fun reward system to adding greens to their favorite foods, moms share their best advice for getting the kids to eat more fruits and veggies.

Keep Healthy Snacks Visible
"So we just clean our cupboards out, and we try to put all the snacks that are healthy in clear containers so that the kids can see them. When you see dried mangos, you remember you have them and it's actually a really good snack -- it fills you up, gives you good fiber. So we try to put healthy snacks in clear containers and just make sure that we always have something the kids can eat. -- First Lady Michelle Obama
