Most of us busy parents are on the look out for new ways to squeeze extra nutrition into our growing kids. Around here, we love using our juicer and enjoying fresh fruit and veggie juice, but it's not really something you can grab-and-go (well you can.. but not without cleaning out a clogged-up juicer later on in the day). Fruit and veggie gummies are our latest solution for getting good nutrition in small, portable doses. Not only are the fruits and veggies filled with vitamins, minerals … [Read more...]

Colorful Smoothies and Juices to Kick the Winter Blues
Do your kids drink smoothies and/or homemade veggie juice? A nutritious smoothie has been one of my go-to methods for getting S and C protien and veggies for quite a while now - I usually make a one for my breakfast a few times a week and make extra for the kids. I'd never tried juices with my kiddos though until our new sitter started to bring them over. Imagine my surprise when my 3 year old happily gulped down a whole glass of beat juice! If this keeps up, I'm going to have to invest in … [Read more...]
Healthy Homemade Banana Chocolate Ice Cream
Kaley's here today with one of our family's favorite snacks. My littles totally think of this as dessert, which I love because it's really nothing more than bananas.

Kid Friendly Crunchy Kale Chips

I love how easy this recipe is and Kaley says her littles gobble up these healthy chips. Make sure you read to the end for her suggested flavor variations. Would you like your kids to eat a little healthier? Do you have issues getting them to eat enough dark leafy greens? Do you wish they would … [Read more...]
