Help me Help my Children go Raw!!

I’d like to transition my children 7 and 3 to being Raw. The first hurdle, giving up cereal and milk, which they LOVE, and would eat it several times per day if I let them. Any ideas out there? How do I start their day with something comparable?
Thanks!

    Raw granola (do a search on the recipe section here) & nut milk?

    Maybe don’t start by trying to eliminate their favorite stuff. Instead, start offering more raw food in addition to what they’re eating then eventually work on increasing the ratio of raw to cooked. Most kids like fruit, so make sure there’s always plenty in a big bowl within view and reach and let them have it whenever they want. If your kids are dippers put a selection of kid friendly cut veg around a bowl of dip and serve it with their normal lunch or dinner. Don’t even talk about it being raw. Another great trick is fruit (and later – green) smoothies. All the kids seem to go nuts over them.

    Good luck!

    Fresh carrot juice is very high in calcium and all nutrients. If needed dilute with distilled water. Even toddlers LOVE carrot juice. Start small and build up.
