Hi Jessica!
Thanks so much and I love your snack ideas! The green smoothie sounds perfect and I bet it was fun for St. Patrick’s Day.

Lots of love,
Laurel

Great article, Laurel. For us, the biggest part of getting kids to eat well was making a commitment to good nutrition ourselves. We only feed our kids what we eat (I don’t believe in “kids’ foods” or “kids’ meals” – if it’s not healthy for adults, it’s certainly not healthy for kids!), so that help us keep ourselves in check as well.

Our kids also like to snack on:
- Chickpeas roasted with a little sea salt
- Nut butter on celery, apples or ricecakes
- Avocado “bugs” (1/2 avocado sliced I decorated with walnut eyes and legs)
- Green smoothies (yesterday’s was kale, zucchini, banana, strawberries, almond milk & cocoa powder)
- Homemade Lara-type bars (raw nuts & dates) or energy bars (oats, flax, nut butter, cocoa powder)

Keeping a veggie tray in the fridge, as you mentioned, is one of the most helpful hints! I can point the kids in that direction if I don’t have time to make a snack, and it makes preparing salads really easy!

Thanks for some great ideas on a really important topic.

Comment on 3 Diets that Fight Cholesterol by Dennis

Laurel,
Thank you for posting about the macrobiotic approach, it should be noted that macrobiotics is actually an approach to wellness and not a diet. Each person has their own constitution and condition and macrobiotics is essentially the way of eating and living to maintain optimal health and wellness. Macrobiotics is also the widest approach to diet available, we are not vegan, we are not strict raw food or fruitarian and therefore offer the greatest possibility of foods to eat and the guidelines listed in your posting are just that, guidelines. If anyone want’s to learn more about the macrobiotic approach I suggesting calling the Kushi Institute, the worlds leading center for macrobiotic education founded by Michio & Aveline Kushi. 1 (800) 975-8744.
