Hidden veggies/fruits

I like to puree veggies or fruits and sneak them into baked goods, mashed potatoes(pureed cauliflower) and in turkey burgers to add flavor. I also add to smoothies to get my intake of fruits and veggies.
My son doesn't know that he is eating veggies and doesn't complain.

MORE INFORMATION:
Just being sneak does pay off. We get more veggies and fruits in our diets.
