I get plain vanilla yogurt and put in little tiny bits of fruit and tell my kids that it is pudding. It works for us! I also make fresh smoothies with bananas and strawberries mostly and give them "milkshakes" Does he like yogurt?

Chances are hes not dying without it, although the vitamins in fruit are vital to proper development. When you serve a meal, always put some sort of fruit on the plate. Don't pressure him to try it, because it will make him rebel against it even more. Eventually, if he keeps seeing the same thing reappear on his plate everyday, chances are he will try it out..and probably like it! You could also involve him in grocery shopping, and even meal time. Have him help pick out fruits at the grocery store, maybe the fruits you are introducing don't physically appeal to him. When meal time comes around, give him choices..."Do you want pears or strawberries today?" Don't overwhelm him with choices, let him pick from 2 or 3. GOOD LUCK!
