Let’s face it, slowing down is hardly in our vocabularies. Go, go, go, go is our mentality and it has to be—otherwise we’d never get the kids to ballet and back in time to pick up the youngest from GI Joe camp. But we don’t want you shoving questionable gas station counter fare into your hungry body (it’s bad for the kids, too). We need to refuel with the right stuff. So we’ve found a bunch of vitamin-rich snacks that offer something for both on-the-go moms and kids. Let the snacking begin!
Go ahead and glow, mama!
Created by and for mothers, what could be better than a kiwi-enriched drink with twice the vitamin C of an orange and twice the vitamin E of an avocado? Glow Mama is packed with all the essential pre- and post-natal vitamins and nutrients that mamas need to keep going. It is made with natural ingredients, so you can skip out on the artificial taste and feel nothing but refreshed. The bottles are small and will easily fit into a purse or diaper bag. Go ahead and try one, we can see you glowing already!
Never say “can’t”
Don’t let the chocolate coating of these bars fool you. Made from 70 percent organic ingredients, Can Do Kid energy bars are hip and nutritious, with just the right amount of can-do attitude. The fun-size squares come in three delicious flavors: cookies and cream, chocolate crunch, and CAN-illa vanilla. With 17 essential vitamins, the bars are perfectly tailored to a kid’s protein and nutrient percentages—an important facet that adult energy bars ignore. Active kids will love them.
Hang ten with Nui
Skip the sugar-spiked sports drink and go “new-ee” for a change. Nui is juice-sweetened water with half the sugar of apple juice and no high fructose corn syrup! Your kids can choose from Raging Red, Outrageous Orange, and Power Purple. One serving of Nui water contains the antioxidants of one cup of green tea and the vitamin D of one cup of milk. Bonus: Half of their profits are donated to children’s charities.
Bringing crunchy back
Yogurt has seen some drastic changes over the years. Between whipped, fruit-on-the-bottom, and soy varieties—the choices abound. But kids (and adults) are hard to fool when it comes to offering healthy alternatives to the ever-addictive cookies or chips option. Yo Crunch yogurt will actually satisfy your sweet tooth while giving your bones the calcium they need. Yo Crunch products, which now come in Light varieties and are 1/3 fewer the calories than their predecessors, pack a smooth and crunchy punch that is sure to please. Instead of cookies and milk after school, why not go with a Yo?
Convenience at its brightest
While your kids would probably love to start the day with smiley face pancakes, who has the time? Introducing Breakfast Breaks! Convenient and healthy, each box comes with everything your kid needs to fuel up in the AM without any additional stress (or calories)! Included in the box is a small cup of General Mills cereal (Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch), a box of Minute Maid apple juice, and a healthy snack ranging from raisins to graham crackers. Spoon included!
