• Portion illusion strategies: Plate size manipulation, visual cues, mindful presentation. 🍽️🧠

2. 💪‘Nutrient Density Domination’ (Kids):

• Recipes that pack maximum vitamins, minerals, and fiber into every bite. Focus on bioavailability. 🌱
• “Veggie Camouflage” 2.0: Beyond purees—think finely grated veggies in meatballs, hidden lentils in sauces, nutrient-boosted baked goods (e.g., zucchini bread with added flaxseed). 🥕🤫
• “Taste Bud Training”: Gradually introducing new flavors and textures through playful presentation and positive reinforcement. 🌈😋

3. 🥣‘Build-Your-Own-Bowl’ Bliss (Picky Eater Optimization):

• Two designated “bowl nights” per week. Provide 3 themed templates:
  • Mediterranean (🥙)
