Healthy Snacks
It used to be that parents told their children not to eat between meals or they wouldn’t be hungry for the main event. Now health experts are helping to change their tune about snacking.
Studies show that having a little something to eat mid morning and then again in the late afternoon can help children (and grown-ups) to keep their energy and concentration levels high throughout the day.
Organic Yogurt Tubes
Why it’s cool for kids (and their parents):
There are all kinds of super-high sugar yogurts on the market that come in neon shades of pinks and greens (not found naturally in nature) that are thought to be more appealing to the kids. If your child is begging you for some bright blue goop, try Horizon yogurt tubes. They are made with all organic ingredients and contain a relatively low amount of sugar.
Tips & Tricks:- Use yogurt in smoothies and even as a healthy substitute for sour cream in baked goods.
