21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List {53} Picky Kid Approved Dinners

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Looking for a 21 Day Fix Meal Plan that will make your picky kid happy and keep you on plan?  Check out this post! This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.  


Looking for a 21 Day Fix Meal Plan that will make your picky kid happy and keep you on plan?  Check out this post with my picky kids' favorite dinners! 21 Day Fix Recipes | 21 Day Fix Meal Plan | 21 Day Fix Family Dinners | Picky Kid Dinner Ideas | Healthy Food for Kids | Healthy Family Dinners | Healthy Instant Pot Recipes | Family Friendly Meal Plan #21df #21dayfix #confessionsofafitfoodie

If you have kids, chances are, they’ve gone through a picky eating phase.  It is tough.  No one wants to be making multiple meals or to be told, “Ew that’s gross,” after you’ve just spent precious time in the kitchen preparing said meal.

My kids can certainly be picky.  Don’t think for one second they care that I’m a food blogger or that people are out there making my recipes (Have I told you lately how much I love you guys?! ❤️) . They don’t.

And we also have some fun texture issues that make a lot of food off limits.  It’s really hard and I also cannot relate to this nonsense at all.  I was never picky – just ask my mom.  I was a foodie from birth.

Anyway, my ultimate advice for conquering picky eating?  Keep trying.  Don’t give up- keep offering healthy options, even if they don’t take you up on it.  They just might surprise you, even if it’s years later!  Also, HIDE those veggies!! Mask them in something delicious like taco meat, chili, or even a smoothie! They won’t even know they’re there.

This week’s meal plan revolves around dinners that are kid tested and approved but don’t taste like they came right off the kids menu- so you can enjoy them too and stay on plan!

And if you love this meal plan, definitely check out my other Picky Kid Plan!

    I was just wondering—some of these say 1/3 tsp or 1 1/2 tsp per serving–are you saying that amount is the serving size?? Thanks!

      No 🙂 . All the serving sizes are listed in the actual recipe! Are you familiar with the 21 Day Fix? The teaspoon count is just for one aspect of the 21 Day Fix…
