Make Eating Healthy Easy For Kids

Let's be honest, if we leave it up to our children to choose healthier snacks for themselves, most will prefer sugary and salty over healthy ones. With so many products on the market today with the appearance of being healthy we as parents have to decipher and make eating right easy for our children. Buying a fruit basket and filling it with assorted fruit   is good but sometimes you have to get creative with it. There have been many occasions where I spent precious time and money at the grocery store picking out a nice variety of fruit only to watch it wither and mold right before my eyes. If there are cookies in the cabinet most kids are going to walk right pass the fruit basket and go straight for the goodies.

Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day so why are so many people skipping it? Studies have shown that eating breakfast jump starts your day, gives you energy and even helps kids to focus better at school. It's time to entice their taste buds by making fruit look more attractive. Here are some suggestions on how to do it successfully and attract not only the kids but yourself as well.

Assorted Fruit Cups

Its much more healthier to cut up fresh fruit in season and store tightly in plastic cups in the fridge than buying store bought fruit cocktails with extra additives and preservatives. The great thing about doing it this way is your kids can easily grab a cup for a light after school snack or top with yogurt and granola in the morning for a delicious breakfast parfait. You'll feel better because they are eating healthier and they'll feel great because it actually tastes great.
