As a mother you always want better for your children than you had. And I am no exception. I must say that I may be a bit obsessed with my children eating healthy. Being a person who was overweight as a child and now as an adult, I will do all I can to prevent the same for happening to my sons. When we are out and about I often get comments about the fact that the drink of choice for my boys is water. In fact the hubby and I haven’t bought juice in several months due to it’s low nutritional value and high sugar content. We also give the boys free reign over the water dispenser to encourage them to drink water.
While Goldfish is still their snack of choice, they also enjoy a cup of yogurt or a cut up apple. In recent months I had introduced them to fruit snacks because every other mother around me was caring them, but I have since had a change of heart and have began supplementing fruit snacks with dried fruit ie. raisins, cranberries and pineapple which they love.
What’s your child’s favorite healthy snack?
My Children’s eats alot of different types of fruits such as straw, ban, orange, grapes, mangos, apples and the list goes on lets not forget there favorite watermelon. Raisins, Carrots and even slide in Celery but they must have ranch dressing…Yes they love the fruit snacks but myself and dentist think otherwise.I still buy unhealthy snacks I just minimize the size and qty they can have it believe me special occasion if you been good..lol But healthy is a must in my household…:)
