Although my boys enjoy both of these foods separate it was not always the case. I found that if I take a food that they enjoy like apple and add in a not so favorite food like raw carrots they will get the nutritional benefits of both while expanding their flavor profile. I started with a ratio of 2 to 1, shredded apple to shredded carrot. You could start even slower if needed by trying a 4 to 1 ratio. Before you know it your child too will be eating raw carrot slaw.
Bonus Tip- What kid doesn't like apple sauce right? You could also try to puree an apple and a carrot and mix the two together. Also safe for your child that is just starting off eating solid foods.
Bonus Tip- The combinations are endless!! Another favorite of ours is apple and beet. Warning.....DO try this at home as it is rather messy for most toddlers.
