daughter has never liked fruits and only likes green beans help?

My daughter is 7 now- and ever since she was an infant- she won’t eat fruit. I have tried and tried- every night at dinner she has to try something she ‘doesnt like’- wether its a piece of strawberry or a blueberry. If i make fresh juice she will drink it- but she will not eat the actual fruit. What can i do?? It was never an issue before- i figured shed eventually start liking them- but shes 7 now and still doesnt- and she is getting pickier and the only veggies she will eat are green beans and corn (even though corn is a grain technically).. i make her try new veggies too- the only thing i have been able to do is to use the chopper to blend veggies togetherwith soup- the only fruit i can get her to eat are banana baby food! What else can i do? am i doing the right things & just need to give it more time????/

My sons doctor once told me that my son had to eat more vegetables, I told him that my son didn’t like them and that I wasn’t going to make my son’s dinner time miserable for him by trying to force him to eat foods he doesn’t like. That was when my son was 9 years old , he is now almost 15 and still doesn’t like all those green vegetables but he eats every fruit under the sun, he does like raw carrots , corn on the cob ,potatoes and tomatoes, so I don’t bother him, I let him be. You can try and make her a smoothies with all the fruits blended in to get her fruits, as for the vegetables keep putting them into the soup but don’t force food on her, it’s a horrible thing to not to get to enjoy your meals, I know we both remember our parents telling us to eat our veggies. I know of a hundred different things that can be worst than our children not liking to eat certain foods.

Your daughter has good taste. Most of the conventional fruit out there tastes pretty bland to me too.

Go to the local natural foods store and get ORGANIC sweet potatoes (notice my name is YamKing) and cook them up. She will love them!

As far as fruit goes, an ORGANIC apple tastes much better than that fruit in the regular store. Get GALA apples and she will love them.
