Healthy Kid Meal Idea: Make Faux “Kid Sushi”

April 1 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Tried this fun presentation of healthy foods with my kids and they couldn't get enough!

I'm so happy to have Jenna from Small Fry here today while I continue on my maternity leave.   Small Fry is such a fresh, clean, inspiring site for modern mamas - I totally adore their craft ideas, recipes, and product recommendations... It's a definite must-read! Hi MPMK friends! I'm SO excited that Stephanie asked me to guest post for her while she's away. This is such a beautiful space and I love reading MPMK daily! I blog over at Small Fry, which is a children's lifestyle blog... come … [Read more...]

Colorful Smoothies and Juices to Kick the Winter Blues

March 18 by Natalie

Colorful smoothies and juices to kick the winter blues - Such a great list to have on hand. My 3 year old is currently loving #6, beets and all!

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

March 4 by Kaley

Since trying this, it's become my kids favorite snack. Love that there's no additional sugar added - we love cocoa and cinnamon!

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. Be sure to read to the end for some of Kaley's favorite flavor variations as well as a list of MPMK's all-time favorite healthy kid snacks. I am trying to figure out why my daughter will only eat half of her banana then leaves the rest to get mushy and brown. And speaking of brown, if it has even one tiny brown spot, forget it. … [Read more...]

Kid Friendly Crunchy Kale Chips

February 16 by Kaley

I've never tried making kale chips at home, have you?  Typically my go-to for getting some leafy greens in the kids is a smoothie - but that's getting a little old (and a little cold) for winter.   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...]
