The Food Explorer Club app is designed to get kids excited about trying new foods and continuing to eat the ones that are good for them.

About the app

Many families with young children struggle to get their kids to eat their fruits and veggies. Kids are super picky and all the processed foods available today make it impossible for broccoli to compete.

The Food Explorer Club app is for the parents of picky eaters and gets kids excited about good food choices. Dinner! Gamified!

Kids earn badges and points for trying new foods and continuing to eat the ones that are food for them. They get excited about trying all types of foods, just like we get excited about getting our 10,000 steps in a day.

The best part is the Food Explorer Club app is FREE and available for download in the App Store and the Google Play Store.

How it all began.

We have 2 little girls who are now 9 and 5, and we have continuously struggled to get them to try new things, especially when it comes to fruits and veggies. One morning, we were eating breakfast and trying to get our youngest, Ali, to try a banana. I mean what kid doesn’t like a banana, right?!? So one of us said you could earn a banana badge if you try it and the other said you could be in the Food Explorer Club. And you know what … it worked! She actually tried it. She didn’t like it at the time but at least she tried it, so we knew we were on to something. Then we tried it again and got our oldest, Ree, to try salmon – aka, “pink meat” – and it worked for her too! So we got started planning the Food Explorer Club app and putting things into motion.

So here we are…with are first version of the app, and we are so excited for you to try it with your kids to see how they respond. We can’t wait to get your feedback!
