Voting Is Closed – Winner to be announced soon!
In a recent urbanmoms.ca poll the majority of moms identified fruits and vegetables as their top snack choice for their kids but the kids chose candy as their #1!
We asked urbanmoms.ca readers & members to tell us how they get your kids eating healthy by sending us their creative solutions for healthy snacking and lunchbox ideas.
We got an amazing response: moms sure are a resourceful group when it comes to encouraging healthy eating habits in our children, and we were thrilled by all the great ideas! Many moms are using similar approaches with great ideas such as:
- disguising fruits and veggies by pureeing and adding to sauces or grating and including in baking;
- setting a healthy example by eating fruits and vegetables ourselves;
- serving only 100% fruit juices and fruit snacks with no added sugar;
- having our kids help select produce and learning about different fruits & vegetables and the four food groups;
- offering dips with fruits & vegetables;
- making themed snacks with shapes or funny names; and
- making smoothies from 100% fruit.
Our top five picks from among this outstanding field of responses is below. Please read through them (be sure to print any recipes you want to try yourself) and vote on which idea you think should win a Sun-Rype sponsored party in the author
