Ahh, summer! The months when food becomes superbly fresher, bedecked in dazzling colors, grilled to perfection, and packaged up in willow picnic baskets! While delicious and potentially very healthy, please be careful: summer foods are also very often laden with un-healthy amounts of salt, sugar, fats and even potentially harmful ingredients that you should try to avoid as much as possible.
If you are a mom on the go, you may find it difficult to find healthy snacks for your kids everyday. You should definitely encourage them to eat fresh fruits and vegetables during snack time, but sometimes that just doesn’t cut it for my kids. I have five favourite snacks, and you can find brand variations at your local organic store. Even some major grocery stores carry these snacks in their health foods section. Try some of these affordable items this week!
If you’re struggling with getting your children to finish their meals or getting them to “like” or maybe even just “tolerate” the healthier options at meals, take a little pressure off yourself and start with healthy snacking first.
