Having ready-to-go dips and chopped veggies in the fridge is a great way to expose your kids to a variety of nutrition packed snacks. Plus, when you create your own dips, you can control the processed oils, and the salts and sugar that your children take in. Getting the kids to help you make a few of these is a great way to encourage exploration in the kitchen. I find the more my kids help me cook, the more they are willing try what they make! Try out a few simple dips for your next crudité platter.
