Wrap and Mat

Wrap-N-Mat is a great concept! You can place the sandwich or other snack foods in the center of the wrap and fold left to right, top to bottom and close the hook and loop fasteners.
Having a mat when taking kids out to eat is especially useful for finger foods!

Worst Kids' Foods

The Children's Health publication released a list of the 20 Worst Kids' Foods in America. Many products can be found overseas too!
From Smiley Face Potatoes with 524 calories and 31 grams of fat, to SunnyD Smooth Style beverage with 60 grams of sugar, it is really hard to believe that these products are marketed to kids.

Nothing like the good ol' banana, homemade smoothie, granola bar.....

Take a Breakfast!

Breakfast is a very important meal time for the entire family. Sometimes we skip it, or eat junk food instead of enjoying a nutritious and yummy meal!

Here is a list of great breakfast ingredients for the entire family:
- Natural fruits: jazz it up by making fruit salads, or cutting slices of apples with peanut butter.
- Granola and milk: great source of iron, fibers, calcium and vitamins. A great option is homemade granola bars.
- Fruit and yogurt smoothies: so delicious!
- Eggs: can be prepared in so many different ways. Organic eggs are a great source of protein.
- Whole grain bread: with cream cheese, or homemade jelly....definitely a family favorite.
- Milk, soymilk, yogurt or fruit juices: make your drinks count as sources of good nutrition!

Enjoy the Holidays, and experience pleasurable breakfast time with the family!
