Grandma’s are the coolest, no?!

Every time Grandma comes over she has something special for the girls.

And this is a Grandma that “gets it”. No candy or junk here.

She knows all it takes to light up my little one’s eyes is a box of raspberries, fresh zucchinis from the farmers market, a brand new sheet of stickers…

…or a bag of colorful organic carrots ๐Ÿ™‚

Only a Grandma could find these beautiful organic carrots at our local store (Thank you California! You have the coolest stuff all year!), and at this time of year when produce is slim pickin’s in our frozen Michigan tundra…well this was a lunch time change up we were all excited about.

Getting Kids to Eat More Vegetables

Figuring out ways to get kids to eat more healthy foods can be tough, but when you serve vegetables often, they typically will learn to love them.  One of the best ways to do that is to vary up the way that you serve them.

You could serve up Kale Chips, Green Bean Chips and even these Kid-friendly Moroccan Carrots. And of course, this Rainbow Stir Fry Recipe is another fun option that you can add to your repertoire.

Rainbow Vegetable Stir Fry

With just a few colorful veggies and a peeler, you can make a fabulous rainbow side dish that you and your kids will love!

When you use a simple julienne peeler, you end up with a beautiful rainbow of “noodles”, and I can promise you the little ones will be all over it! I don't even have one of the fancy peelers - this simple one works just as good!

More On this Stir Fry Recipe

  • Change up the veggies to the season! I stir fry a couple lunches per week, so in the summer its zucchini noodles, tomatoes, and beans from the garden. In the fall and winter, I make carrot and sweet potato noodles and use frozen organic broccoli and green beans from Costco.
  • This comes together within 20 minutes start to finish, including the chopping. Double up for dinner one night and pack the leftovers in a thermos to go in lunchboxes the next day to have your prep count twice.
  • I put a chicken in my slow cooker every week or so and use the meat throughout the week for meals like this. It is such a time saver.
  • Chop/peel the veggies/chicken the night before so all you have to do when you get home from work is throw it in the pan – 15 minutes, tops, and dinner is served.

You could certainly use “regular” carrots and even zucchini. We do stir fries like this on a weekly basis. It was just special to change up the color. The girls had 2 platefuls and I had one happy crew on my hands for the afternoon.

Recipe Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, use other vegetables like jicama, radishes, onions, peppers, etc. instead of carrots.
  • I prefer coconut aminos over soy sauce – it tastes the same and has none of the soy issues (thyroid and hormonal). I get it cheapest these days at our local health food store.

    Hi! I'm also a mom of 3 under 4, and have struggled with terrible autoimmune and gut issues the past few years. We are starting the Whole 30 this week in hopes of getting my body on the right track and hopefully getting closer to healing my gut. I haven't tried your recipes yet, but i have marked down a lot of them for this weeks meal plan. I just wanted to tell you thank you now, before the week goes on and I forget. Thank you for your passion to share these recipes and help other families. I will definitely be visiting your blog often!

      HI there. I am so sorry to hear you are having so many issues. Have you considered the AIP diet? I am hoping more and more of my recipes will be on that diet. Autoimmunity is such a big deal now. Take care and thanks for taking the time to comment.

    I have a severe intolerance to coconut and a moderate intolerance to pork and dairy. What do you think I can use for the 'friendly fat'?
