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!

Avocado “Ice Cream”
If you have not yet tried avocado ice cream I strongly suggest you give it a try. Whenever I serve it as a dessert for company, I rarely mention what it is. I sit back and watch everyone try and scrap the bowl with their spoons to capture each little bit. As the questions begin, I enjoy telling people that there is No dairy, No white sugar, and No, I don’t own an ice cream maker.
How to Make a Natural Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner
I am always looking for ways to reduce the chemicals I use in my home. When the windows get closed for the long winter season, I become even more conscious of what I put into the air we breathe.
I have tried using just vinegar and water as a non-toxic cleaner, but honestly, my kids say it makes our house smell like a jar of pickles. I have a hard time purchasing some of the natural cleaning products as they can be costly and the ingredients are so simple it is more cost effective to make them yourself.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie
13.5 grams of plant-based protein make this smoothie a quick and easy energy booster. It boasts just over 9 grams of dietary fiber that aids your digestion and toxin removal.
Coconut Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Coconut Lemon Poppyseed Muffins. This recipe uses a little maple syrup for sweetness and is naturally gluten free, while still being light and moist. The shredded coconut adds a nice texture and the optional vegan lemon drizzle adds a little extra zip on top! The coconut flour not only provides a great naturally gluten free alternative but provides plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Chocolate Dream Smoothie Bowl
You know when you walk in the door at the end of your day and you just want something? Even if you ate well all day, you walk in the door, go to the fridge and stand there staring. This is when my eating is at its worst. It’s random – like a piece of cheese and some old chocolate chips I found in the baking box.
Apple Pie Morning Oatmeal
You may have noticed a trend with my recipes in that I seem to be trying to “healthify” desserts. Like my Chocolate Macaroons or my need to recreate Mint Chocolate
