Parents are always asking me the best ways to get their kids to eat more vegetables. My response? (Well, I have a few of them…learn more on my healthy eating for kids page.) DIPS! Kids love to dip, and a delicious dip will make any raw veggie more appealing for both kids and adults.

I love the way that this veggie dip made with greek yogurt tastes, yes. But I also love that it takes just a few minutes to make.

My Vegetable Snacking Philosophy

When I was pregnant with Demi, I read the book Bringing Up Bébé* (which I highly recommend!) and promptly decided that my child wouldn’t snack. We just wouldn’t do it! You can take a moment to laugh at me. (Really, I’m serious.) Then I actually had a child and my philosophy changed. Imagine that, right? *affiliate link

What I liked about the no-snacking rule is that it means kids show up to meals hungry and ready to eat! They’re eating proper meals because they aren’t snacking on crackers all day, every day. It was appealing to me. But not necessarily entirely realistic. I think if an entire culture doesn’t snack it might be plausible, but when my kid sees someone pull out a snack at the park, she’s ready for one too.

So, I’ve adjusted the French ideal to fit our American reality in a way that still promotes meal times over snacks, but leaves room for some snacking fun, too. Plain and simple, everyone is more receptive to foods when they are hungry. If my kids are hungry while we’re getting dinner ready, I do my best to offer vegetables. And sometimes (if they are lucky) those vegetables include this healthy vegetable dip.

Vegetables for Dill Veggie Dip Recipe:

As for the veggies, you can go as simple or as complicated as you want. There are a few vegetables that I always have in the fridge. Baby carrots, persian cucumbers, and bell peppers. Why those? Because they require minimal prep and I’ve found that there are many times that veggies can be used as a snack (with this greek yogurt veggie dip dill) but that the veggies need to be quick and ready-to-go to make it happen. Pick whatever vegetables you like, or try new ones! In addition to my standard veggies, these go well with my dill veggie dip recipe:

• endive leaves
• broccoli and cauliflower florets
• grape tomatoes (make sure you cut them in half for kids!)
• celery
• radish
• snap peas or green beans
