1-Week Kid-Approved Veggie Plan

Here’s a 1-week Kid-Approved Veggie Plan with fun, easy-to-make meals and snacks that sneak in (or spotlight) vegetables in ways kids usually enjoy.

Day 1 – Monday

  • Breakfast: Spinach & banana smoothie (add peanut butter for extra flavor).
  • Lunch: Mini veggie quesadillas (melted cheese, peppers, and zucchini in a tortilla).
  • Snack: Carrot sticks with hummus (call them “superhero sticks”).
  • Dinner: Spaghetti with hidden veggie marinara (blend carrots, spinach, zucchini into the sauce).

Day 2 – Tuesday

  • Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with finely chopped bell peppers.
  • Lunch: Turkey and cheese wrap with shredded lettuce and cucumber slices inside.
  • Snack: Apple slices + peanut butter + sprinkle of shredded carrots (“confetti snack”).
  • Dinner: Chicken stir fry with broccoli and snap peas over rice.

Day 3 – Wednesday

  • Breakfast: Zucchini muffins (grated zucchini mixed into the batter).
  • Lunch: DIY “snack lunchbox” (cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, whole-grain crackers).
  • Snack: Celery sticks with cream cheese & raisins (“ants on a log”).
  • Dinner: Build-your-own veggie pizza night (kids top mini pizzas with mushrooms, peppers, olives).

Day 4 – Thursday

  • Breakfast: Fruit & spinach smoothie bowl topped with granola.
  • Lunch: Grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup (blend in carrots for sweetness).
  • Snack: Bell pepper “boats” filled with tuna salad.
  • Dinner: Tacos with lettuce, tomato, and grated carrots mixed into the beef or chicken.

Day 5 – Friday

  • Breakfast: Banana pancakes with shredded zucchini mixed into the batter.
  • Lunch: Mac & cheese with peas and broccoli stirred in.
  • Snack: Cucumber slices with ranch dip.
  • Dinner: Mini meatballs with hidden veggies (carrots & spinach mixed in) + roasted sweet potato fries.

Day 6 – Saturday

  • Breakfast: Smoothie with strawberries, pineapple, and carrots.
  • Lunch: Mini pita pockets stuffed with hummus, shredded lettuce, and chopped cucumber.
  • Snack: Veggie chips (baked zucchini, sweet potato, or beet chips).
  • Dinner: Build-your-own “buddha bowls” with rice, chicken, and roasted veggies (let kids choose toppings).

Day 7 – Sunday

  • Breakfast: Omelet muffins (egg muffins baked with spinach, peppers, and cheese).
  • Lunch: Pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese cubes.
  • Snack: Frozen grapes + carrot sticks.
  • Dinner: Burger night—make mini sliders with lettuce, tomato, and zucchini fries on the side.

Tips for Success

  • Always let kids help choose or assemble one part of the meal—it increases buy-in.
  • Use fun names (e.g., broccoli = dinosaur trees, peas = green pearls).
  • Keep portions small—better for kids to ask for “more” than refuse a big serving.
