Knowing how difficult it can be to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables, a mom named Sarah Horhung came up with an interesting solution and put it on Facebook. In just over 2 weeks, her post got over 84,000 likes, 32,000 comments, and 115,000 shares, which pretty much shocked her. What’s this amazing hack that Hornung shared?
On September 15th, she posted a photo that shows the inside of her fridge. The photo shows the fridge door that’s not packed with eggs and condiments like many other fridge doors. Instead, we see several plastic containers filled with fresh fruits and veggies and some other healthy snacks. We can already see what this is all about and it’s brilliant.
“After grocery shopping I always wash and prep all of the food that is considered self-serve in our house,” this clever lady wrote on Facebook. “There’s something about having things truly ready to grab that makes kids eat it. I could leave the baby carrots in a bag or leave the grapes on the stems but they wouldn’t eat it.”
Thousands of people commented on her post agreeing that this is indeed a great way to make kids eat more fresh produce, but that it can also be helpful for adults. After all, don’t we all have the days when we reach for a bag of chips simply because it’s convenient to eat? With just a few extra minutes of preparation, you can have your own pre-made healthy snacks available in your fridge at all times!
