Veggie Garden Cups
Over the years I’ve realized one important factor when it comes to inspiring kids to eat their fruits and veggies. If you add a whimsical touch to food, they won’t even hesitate before eating them up.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted
- 1/2 a lime
- kosher salt
- 1 bag Bolthouse Farms matchstick carrots
- 1 Bolthouse Farms large carrot, peeled
- 1 persian cucumber
- 4 cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- Spoon the avocado flesh into a bowl along with the lime juice and salt. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth.
- Fill each small plastic cup about 1/2 way up with Bolthouse Farms matchstick carrots.
- Spoon 1/4 of the avocado mixture on top of the matchstick carrots in each cup.
- Cut the carrots and cucumbers into 2 inch lengths. Use a pairing knife to make 4-5 small notches around the carrot and cucumber pieces. Then slice each one into 1/2 inch slices to form flowers.
- Place the carrot flowers and cucumber flowers onto wooden skewers. Top the cucumber flowers with cherry tomatoes.
- Cut the red bell pepper and the celery into sticks about the same length as the sugar snap peas.
- Place the carrot and cucumber flowers, sliced radishes, sugar snap peas, red bell peppers, and celery into the avocado mixture to create a garden.
- Then place the broccoli florets in the open spaces to create grass.
