Breakfast: oatmeal with maple syrup, bluerberries, bananas, organic whole milk |
This weekend we went on our first road trip as a family of four. Even though I tried to keep healthy snacks on hand we still ate junk. No sleep, long hours in the car with a 2 year-old and 8 week-old, plus junk food makes one feel kinda, well, yucky. So since we got back on Sunday I have been craving all sorts of veggies and fruit. I just assume my toddler did too. :)
Morning Snack: seedless watermelon and organic colby cheese |
I have been eating kale chips, and more kale chips, and more... I am convinced it's all in how you word things to a toddler. Call it a chip? Put some parmeasean cheese on it? My toddler will eat it.
Lunch: egg scramble with broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and garlic scapes, parmeasean kale chips, organic ketchup for dipping |
He definitely still dug out every piece of broccoli from those eggs. He really used to love broccoli. I even tried the "Mommy is going to eat your broccoli!" but it didn't even lure him in!
After nap snack: smoothie or "juice" with-get ready-strawberries, banana, raspberry, pineapple, spinach, avacado, plain yogurt, ground flax seed, and milk |
I saved some extra smoothie for the hubby and he asked sarcastically "Is that it?" when I listed what was in it that day. Hey, I've got to get all this stuff in a toddler, ad he loves these so let's pile it on buddy!
Dinner: pasta and cheese - again! With spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms |
we love smoothies around here. we havent tried avocado in our before though. Sounds delicious, I am trying it in my next one!
ReplyDeleteSo at our next meeting, I am hitting you up on how to get my toddler on board with healthy eating.
