Raise your hand if cool ranch Doritos was your snack for “nutrition” break in high school? That or a huge cookie? I know, I cringe to think of it🤣

Here is the cold hard truth Doritos are not good for you. These chips swipe right➡️ have over 30 ingredients and artificial colors/flavors.

Feeding your family healthier and building a strong immune system can take place over time, with one small swap after the other.

There’s always a better for you brand out there. We love chips, and I rest easy letting the kids gobble them up.

We must return to real food.

When you need to reach for a snack out of a bag or box, look at the ingredients ♥️☠️

I put together a cheat sheet for you of my top 5 immunity boosting foods that your family needs to be eating right now! Link in bio🌱

You guys know how much I love a good natural immunity boosting hack! Insert Propolis!

Immune benefits of propolis : did you know bees don’t just make honey, they make a substance called propolis. Propolis has been around for thousands of years, ancient civilizations used it for its medicinal properties.

I discovered propolis a year ago after hearing the founder of on the and I became obsessed with how efficiently it worked to support sickness or infection. Last Summer we took the boys on a trip and right before we left everyone got a sore throat and stuffy nose, not ideal! We were going to a secluded mountain cabin so we packed the car and the propolis spray and dosed everyone and after 2 days we were 100!

Researchers have identified more than 300 compounds in propolis. The majority of these compounds are forms of polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that fight disease and damage in the body.
Specifically, propolis contains the polyphenols called flavonoids. Flavonoids are produced in plants as a form of protection. They’re commonly found in foods thought to have antioxidant properties.

Propolis is thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Bees make propolis to line the walls of the hive to keep germs out, so make sense it would have those properties.

If you are allergic to honey or bees, then this wold not be for you, but if you aren’t I think it’s worth looking into.

Always consult your pediatrician when giving the real littles any form of honey.

This is not medical advice. I am sharing what we love and one thing we keep in our holistic medicine cabinet.

We currently (even kids) take 1tsp a day of the B Powered Superfood honey which contains bee pollen, royal jelly, honey, and propolis. This is medical grade and is meant to support your body. I double up on this if anyone is sick in the house :) Again, what we do. This is not medical advice.

Here’s the cold hard truth. We as a society are overweight, our kids are overweight. We are praised with free donuts for getting a shot. One thing I hope this pandemic can do is open our eyes to the real health crisis in the US, it’s obesity. It’s the food supply, it’s the food choices we make daily.

Lack of proper nutrition leads to lack of nutrients & absorption of vital minerals. This leads to kids being dysregulated and unable to have stable emotional health.

Heart disease is still the number 1 killer in the United States. Heart attack, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, ADHD, anxiety… do you know what they all have in common? They are a direct result of lack of proper nutrition and vital nutrients in the body.

We are overweight as a country but we are starving of nutrients.

Yes there’s lack of education on proper nutrition. But here’s the good news, today is the day you can CHOOSE to take control of your health and your children’s health.

As mother’s we are the gatekeepers of our family’s health. Children will model what they see in the home.

They will crave sugar and processed food if that’s what is being given to them. But on the flip side they will also crave and THRIVE when they are fed real whole foods.

I’m not sure we are awake to the damage done when we don’t eat real food.

The 6 o’clock news should be showing ways to cook healthy meals on a budget for any family. They should be showing ways to exercise at home and include your kids.
Instead they promote fear and to be scared of those around them because they could be sick.

Support your immune system and your body with real food.

Turn off the news, step outside with your children and breathe in the air.

Try picking a few veggies 1-2 you and your kids like. Get on Pinterest find 2 recipes and pick 2 days out of the week you’ll cook together and make them.

Start somewhere.

Go for a walk after dinner as a family.

Choose apples and peanut butter with a few chocolate chips for dessert.

Small consistent tweaks= lasting daily change.

We are in control of our health, not the media, not any virus there will ever be. We are control, so start today with one healthy change.

A hot tip! And one of my most asked questions. And as a mama to two little boys I feel you!

Tip on how to make one dinner. Decide what everyone likes to eat, make a meal around that and then before you combine everything serve it 2 different ways… here’s what I mean.

Say you want to make a stir fry but the kids don’t like everything combined or they don’t like the sauce. Still stir fry the veggies + protein in one pan, cook your base (rice, quinoa) in another pot. Before you combine it all and add your sauce, plate the kids plate by pulling out what they like from the stir fry, then add a scoop of your base next to it. We like to use nutritional yeast to sprinkle on kids food if they don’t like the sauce I’m using.

Then after the kid’s plates are made combine your stir fry ingredients with the sauce and you enjoy!

You see, you cooked once, but served it two different ways.

Do you do this?

How to get your kids to be more adventurous with food!

Make trying something new an adventure. I always tell the moms that I work with to turn going to the grocery store into a game/ or a mission (my 5 yr old loves that). The goal is to pick out “anything” they want in the produce section (1-2 veggies) and then go home and find a recipe and make it together.

What this does it:
A. It makes them think it was their idea. Kids love that.
B. It gives them a sense of adventure and fun around buying vegetables (“pick out anything you want”)
C. It gets them cooking with you and studies show kids who help prepare food are more likely to try it.

It’s simple and fun and easy to try plant based eating when you make it that way!!

More than anything our kids want our time and our attention and doing this exercise gives them that.
