Almond Butter! Peanut butter is a staple in many households, but another great source of protein and fat is almond butter. Add variety to your child’s diet with almond butter. Spread it on whole-grain bread, celery sticks, or apples and you have a nutritious snack for sporting events and school. If your child is allergic to nuts or can’t bring them due to another child’s nut allergies, try Sunflower Seed Butter! Try these raw, soaked and dehydrated nuts, nut butters, and seeds from Wilderness Family Naturals We love their Coca-Nutte (soaked and dehydrated hazelnuts and raw cacao powder) - the REAL version of Nutella spread. |
We all get in ruts. The key is to not get stuck! Feeding your family REAL food is too important. Your child is growing. The clock is ticking. We're all crazy busy. No more excuses. Commit to walking across the bridge from Fake foods to REAL foods, one step at a time. Connect with other like minded parents here at NourishMD.com and on Facebook - and walk the REAL food journey together. |
Instead of microwaving your food, give inexpensive bamboo steamers a try. We love reheating and steaming food in them. Just stack them up over a sauce pan to cook or reheat a variety of food all at once. It takes a little longer than pushing a few buttons on the microwave, but you'll soon realize how much better the food tastes (even leftover meat is moist!). Zap away microwave health hazards and give bamboo steamers a try!

Give a bedtime foot massage with essential oil a try. We often underrate sleep as an important factor in keeping our child healthy. We are so easily distracted by the business of life that we forget our children (including teens) need sleep and lots of it. Setting up a relaxing bedtime routine can help your child fall asleep easily and quickly. A great way to connect with your child every evening is to add a short (3-5) minute foot massage using a blend of essential oils. The physical touch, the calming scents and the connection you make with your child are all ways to decrease stress, grow your relationship and support great health. One of our favorite essential oil blends is IMMUNE. Give it a try! |

Instead of using Fake syrups or plain Maple Syrup on your child’s pancakes, waffles or French toast, mix a bag of frozen blueberries with some Maple Syrup. Now you've created a topping packed with phytonutrients and less sugar. You can blend the mixture to make it smooth or leave it lumpy and bumpy! Heat on the stove-top and serve. As time goes on, use less Maple Syrup and more berries. You may get to the point where your child is putting just berries on top of his breakfast favorites!
