This post: 50 Recipes to Tempt Your Teen to Eat More Fruit and Veggies

So, here’s a statistic I’ll bet you didn’t know… the overwhelming majority of high school students nationwide haven’t met the recommended daily requirement for fruit and vegetables in YEARS.

Recommendations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture call for a minimum intake of 1.5 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables for girls 14 to 18 years old and 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of vegetables for boys the same age. But according to the CDC, teens aren’t eating anywhere near that.

In fact, according to one study, only 7.1% of high school students nationally are meeting the recommended daily intake for fruit and a mere 2% are meeting the recommended intake for vegetables. Yikes!

According to the study, the reason teens fall behind in the recommended fruit and vegetable intake is because they either don’t have access to healthier foods at home, they’re hitting the fast food lines far too much or they simply don’t like the taste of fruit or veggies.

But heads up parents, there’s a way you can change that!

If you’re one of the millions of parents of teens who can’t seem to tempt their teen to eat more fruit and veggies, we rounded up a bunch of delicious recipe ideas that just might get your teen to turn the corner and actually start loving fruit and veggies. Plus, with your teen’s growing body, they need all the vitamins and nutrients they can get!

From a “too tempting not to eat” cookies and cream cheese fruit pizza to a delicious veggie flatbread that’s bursting with flavor, here are 50 recipes to tempt your teen to eat more fruit and veggies.
