Practical ways to include fruits and vegetables you dislike
Nutrition guidance suggests exploring why you dislike produce and trying alternatives like raw vegetables with dip, small amounts of cheese, or sauces, sneaking vegetables into favorites, and using tomato products. For fruits, pairings with yogurt dips, toppings, or cereals can help, while 100 percent fruit juices provide vitamin A and C. Supplements can help if intake is very limited, but fibers and phytonutrients are best from varied produce.
