Healthy Kids Snacks

I am both a mother of two boys (one a picky eater) and an advocate of "food as medicine" serving whole foods to my family every day. I teach patients how to eat for life, healthily and deliciously.


Power Packed Pudding

This is a favorite of my boys and they think they are getting a treat when it's loaded with Omega-3's, unsaturated vegetable proteins, healthy fats and it's so good they ask for more.

Parfait bowls and Curly Straws make this recipe a winner every time. Buy organic if you can:

1 Banana

1 avocado ripe

1/8 cup of soft tofu

1/2 cup of healthy yogurt shake raspberry is our favorite

8 cashews

1 TBS. Cocoa Powder unsweetened

1 TBS. Pure Maple Syrup

1 TBS. Ground Flax Seeds

Blend until really smooth and enjoy!
