You won't believe this, but Moses loves smoothies! We make fruit smoothies with some spinach in it and he whines for a tiny taste! Otherwise, the only thing he will eat in the fruit and veggie arena are carrots. He will not eat apples for some reason. I haven't tried bananas, but I will give it a whirl. I feel so much better about some veggies now and then than treats.

Mine like baby carrots -- the real baby carrots not the full sized ones that they scrub down to nubs. They also love thawed and slightly cooked frozen green beans -- not canned. If you have to use canned, try to use the low sodium. The regular canned veggies are just loaded with sodium. But a handful of blanched frozen green beans will make all of mine happy all day long! They will also eat any type of beans ... but it might be the fact that I am eating them. I had one that loved tomatoes, even the little cherry tomatoes. But not all of mine do. They all love sweet potato, baked, cooled and cut in small pieces.

Mine are not big on fruit. I've tried them on all kinds. They will eat bananas but only when it is a competition between them or I am eating one. Anything that I am eating must be good so they will eat it at that time. They'll eat little wedges of apple with peanut butter but I think it is just because of the peanut butter. You don't need much at all, mainly just a tiny smear to flavor the apple a bit. Tried it with celery but they just licked the peanut butter and left the celery.

Gracie loves fruits and veggies, too but don't over due them or your pup could end up with diarrhea. Dehydrated meat is always a good choice to supplement with the fruit.

Daisy likes most fruits and veg, especially apples and blueberries. In the evening she will come to tell me its time to share our evening apple (no peeling for her though). I used to have a Llasa who loved tomatoes and she would pull them off of the vine and eat them. lol

Do you guys feed cantaloupes? for some reason my maltese takes a whiff and runs off like it's poison. Other than that they like all fruits but my yorkie and maltese I think love mangoes the most. They can't stop eating it.

Carrots, apples, banana and even raw spinach. They love edamame (soybeans) and will knock each other over trying to get to whoever has some!

how's your dog liking veggies, mine won't eat them unless cooked and mixed in with something. I've tried them all, even my friends when they give them to their dogs he refuses, guess he won't cave to peer pressure

I didn't think you couldn't feed Yorkies bananas.
