Mine are somewhat picky about their fruit, and I would rather give them fresh versus canned if I had the choice. I can get them to eat oranges, apples (sparingly), grapes, and bananas. I've tried peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. If I buy a container of any of these, they will eat a couple, and then the rest I have to eat

So, what do your kids eat for fruit for breakfast, and how do they eat it (as is, dipped in yogurt, smoothies, etc)?

M really loves cantaloupe - this is the only thing I can get her to eat consistently. She also likes green apples, mandarin oranges, and she'll eat anything if it's in a smoothie.

My kids love fruit. They usually eat bananas with their breakfast, but sometimes they will have cataloupe,blueberries or strawberries. They usually eat them plain, but occasionally will have a little peanut butter with their banana. I never give them canned fruit.

M'ija would (and still will) eat pretty much any kind of fruit.
Other than the ones you've mentioned, we like melons (cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon), pineapple (fresh tastes SO much better than canned), grapefruit, figs, mangoes, kiwi (M'ija likes it with the skin on), muscadines, satsumas, blackberries

My kids are huge fruit eaters. They would rather have it plain than dipped in something. My kids thing that green apples dipped in caramel is gross!! Crazy kids!!

Apples-any kind
applesauce-either alone or I make applesauce pancakes
any berries-plain, in homemade waffles or pancakes, on top of cereal, muffins or quick breads
Bananas-" "
mandarin oranges
grapes
dried fruits-found a cherry, cranberry, blueberry mix that is yummy
I really cant think of any fruit that they will not eat.

My guys like all kinds of fruit, and we it all day long, as well as for breakfast. We don't eat any canned fruit, and we just like our fruit plain - not adding any sugar or sweetener. My one son likes yogurt, so he'll sometimes add fruit to his yogurt in the morning but otherwise, they just eat it cut up on a dish or in their hand.

Grapes
Apples
Oranges/Clementines
Papaya
Kiwi
Pineapple
Mango
Bananas
Peaches/Nectarines
Pears
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
Blackberries

One fruit nobody likes but me is melon...not sure why!

Mine will eat just about anything...they don't really care for mandarin oranges. They like it plain. If I have plain yogurt, they love to add blueberries or strawberries to it for a snack.
