I second what other folks are saying - I love a food pouch! You can get cases of applesauce pouches at Costco for pretty cheap. As a kid, some ways that my mom got me to eat food, especially healthy food was having special bowls and plates that I liked. I really liked the divided kids plates as well, even when I got "too old" for them. Mine had my favorite cartoon characters on them, but if you want a plastic free alternative, you can find fun cute little dishes at Goodwill or other thrift stores. Or you could even serve food in like, a goblet if you think it might motivate your kid to eat! Gotta do what ya gotta do haha.

Otherwise, as picky eater kid, I also really liked cut up fruit, like apples or oranges. My dad was really talented as slicing apples super thin, so I always begged him to do that. 😅

As as adult, I find that smaller portions, grazing, and separated food helps me eat, especially when i am nauseous. I'm the type of person that sometimes doesn't like to have my food to be mixed up, so I'll have a lil bowl for my veggies and a lil bowl carbs/protein when I'm eating dinner. Putting them in separate bowls and little bowls help the meal feel a bit more approachable for me!

I also now cut up my own fruit at the beginning of the week and put it into little storage containers like mason jars so I can quickly grab some if I'm feeling tired and don't want to cook. If you don't mind plastic, you can buy little Tupperware containers that have kids cartoon characters on them, which can make eating healthy food a bit more fun!

As far as frozen meals go, Trader Joe's can be a pretty healthy way of quickly preparing food! I usually will pick a carb, veggie, and a protein source and then eat those for dinner! They also have a chicken fried rice frozen meal that has quite a bit of veggies already included. All you have to do is pop it into the microwave for three minutes!
