Kids
The Kids Corner is a place to find kid approved Healthy Foods, Feel Good Toxic Free Products and well… Fun Ideas! This kids’ page is important to me. As a mother of two, I appreciate the struggle, the negotiation and the amount of work it takes to keep our children well-nourished. Sometimes we only have 30 minutes from when you walk in the door after school until you have to be at the first extracurricular activity. Convenience foods look appealing because it feels like there is no time or energy to start cooking.
After years of working full-time and raising two very active kids, I have learned the importance of my food prep day. I create quick five-ingredient meals, make ahead power balls and grab-and-go protein snacks. They took some trial and error and, of course, they had to pass my hardest critics – my kids! But we nailed it. Here I offer you kid-approved snacks, healthy lunchbox solutions your kids can be involved in making, tasty holistic nutrition-approved treats and so much more fun kid food ideas. My passion is to share these with other moms/dads and hope that your kids love them too and in turn, make your life a little easier with some extra self-care time for yourself!
I have tried and tested many toxic free products for kids, which I will share here, along with some DIY recipes I have created myself, like my kid’s homemade cough drops and DIY Kids Safe Bug Spray. And let’s not forget the importance of Fun! I have a chemical free DIY moon sand and playdough recipes you can make with your kids and feel good about. Lots of great school party snacks and gift ideas that fit into your health and wellness mindset. I even have my favorite natural food based food coloring icing recipes for their Birthday cakes (cause we all need to enjoy cake still!). As I make them, I will post them to share with all of you 
During my own transformation to health and wellness, my children were taken along this journey with me, and I have seen the difference it can make. The result was my daughter, who was plagued with allergic symptoms, had frequent illnesses and experienced anxiety had all these lessen over time. My son who had a difficult time focusing and keeping attention in school and complained of leg pains also no longer has these issues. Educating our kids while they are young can help them develop positive relationships with food, promote healthy brain and body development, and reduce the incidence of disease in the future. Together we can foster kids who rejoice in a healthy and happy body!

Easy 2-Ingredient Fruit Leather (Peach & Wildberry Flavors)
What I love about this recipe is I can make endless flavor combinations, it’s a great way to use up fruit that might be bruised or a little soft instead of wasting it, and you can omit the little-added sugar! You can just blend the fruit and have 1-ingredient fruit leather. With back-to-school around the corner, I am using my seasonal summer fruit to whip up a few batches for fall. This makes packing fun snacks in the lunch box a breeze while being a cost-effective way of having fruit leather.
Double Chocolate Raspberries Creamsicles (Dairy-Free)
One of the greatest sounds you can hear as a kid as you are playing at the park is the sound of the ice cream truck driving by. That cheerful song that entices you to run up and view the colorful board of tasty frozen treats and make the hard decision about which one you will pick. It is amazing how food can bring us back to happy times like this or a certain smell can remind us of memories that are dear to our hearts.

Pineapple Chocolate Chunk Nice Cream
What is there not to love about Nice Cream? It is a rich, creamy, and dairy-free dessert you can whip up in minutes when you have a craving for something sweet. You don’t need to add sweetener if you don’t want too and the flavor combinations are endless. In it’s most simplest form, nice cream is frozen banana’s that are blended to make a type of soft serve.
Blender Apple Breakfast Muffins
I love the way a batch of freshly baked muffins can fill the whole house with it’s warming aroma. Apples and cinnamon, in my opinion, are not just for fall
