Healthy Kids Organic Nutritional Shakes
Delicious Organic Nutrition for Everyone
I’m always amazed at how little kid’s appetites seem to fluctuate. One day it seems like Brooke is famished and can’t eat enough food and the next she is barely hungry. We attribute some of that to growth spurts but whatever the case, their pediatrician said to not force meals and kids will eat when they are hungry. Yes, BUT – I still want to make sure the kids are meeting their nutritional needs. So, while we aren’t doing the dreaded ‘you are going to sit here until you finish your entire plate’ bit, Brooke knows if she does not want to eat a meal, she has to drink a healthy shake or smoothie. It really does work and makes us all feel better about our health.
See, I had a period where I was feeling very down and it really affected my eating habits. I just did not FEEL hungry and very BLAH overall. My doctor said, “If you don’t feel like eating a meal, drink your meal.” While this seems to be a statement you say right after ‘do not pass go – go directly to rehab’, it was actually great advice to start drinking protein shakes and smoothies that began to nourish my body and kick start me back on the path to being healthy. Now it has almost become a habit – on the go and do not want to skip a meal? Grab a shake. Not feeling exceptionally hungry at lunch? Grab a shake.
It’s amazing how much better you feel when you are feeding your body in a healthy way. As the responsible co-partners in our children’s health, Bob and I take our role in what our kids put into their body’s seriously and think it definitely affects their performance and mood. One of Brooke’s favorite nutritional shakes is from a company called Orgain that has a line of shakes especially designed for kids. The all-organic drinks are approximately 8 ounces of ten different fruits and veggies, complex carbohydrates from brown rice, 23 vitamins and minerals and has eight grams of protein per serving. Yeah, not a bad supplemental meal, huh? The shakes come in three flavors; chocolate, strawberry or vanilla and is non-GMO and Gluten and Soy-Free. Just like I may not feel hungry but do not want to skip a meal, I want the same for my children. Orgain Healthy Kids provides a organic nutritional shake for those times we want to supplement meals to keep our kids healthy and happy.
