Feeding Your Kids Healthier Food When You’re On The Go *WIN A GIFT BASKET*
These past few weeks things have been hectic for us as many of you already know. We’re constantly running from one appointment to the next and on days when we’re not scheduled for appointments I have lots of work to catch up on. When we’re running back and forth between the audiologist, speech, different doctors, and his new school for the enrollment process, it gets extremely chaotic and it’s often hard to put together healthy snacks and lunches for him. I recently had the chance to review some of the Eating Right kids products from Safeway, this is certainly a great way to feed your kids when you’re constantly on the go like I am. We were able to try out the fruit cups, the chewy snack bars, the apple juice, and Whole Wheat Cheese Ravioli. My son really enjoyed his meal and I loved that it didn’t take long to get set up for him. His favorite part was the bottle of apple juice from Eating Right and the snack bar, naturally. I wasn’t able to get a bite of the snack bar because he scarfed it down too fast but I took that as a really good sign. I was able to sneak in a few bites of his Whole Wheat Cheese Ravioli in Sauce though and in comparison to other ready to eat pastas I thought it was okay, not quite as good as some of the other canned raviolis but I was happier with it because it was made with my child’s health in mind… and sometimes you have to be sneaky when trying to get that whole wheat into your child’s diet and that can often be hard to do. My son seemed to like the ravioli and since it comes in a microwaveable container it was easy to heat up and serve, however he took a couple bites and he was done. Would I buy the Looney Toons Eating Right line again? Yes, but I’d be more inclined to buy the juices and chewy snack bars since they make for a great snack and my son LOVED them. They’re both perfect for when we’re on the go and I can easily fit them into my tote bag so they’re there when my son wants them. I’m not sure if I would buy the ravioli again but we could just possibly have some very spoiled taste buds. I would love to find a Safeway that’s close by so I can try out their breads, the pudding cups, and waffles and pancakes. They seem to have a lot of variety and plenty for your little ones to choose from.

I add spinach, flax and oatmeal wherever it can be well hidden. In things like casseroles, burgers and such.
My kids love Vegetable Soup so when I fix it I add as many different kinds of vegetables as I can.

My child loves soup so it’s easy to add celery, carrots, and potatoes with ground beef in a soup.
I make cooked broccoli and cauliflower and pour melted cheese over it and they really like it then. Also I make casseroles and mix some veggies in so they don’t notice.

Adding fresh fruit and granola instead of cookies!
In casseroles I can hide veggies well and they don’t know the difference. But they do like quite a lot of veggies anyways.
Thekids love things like almonds and yogurt so thankfully snack time isn’t too hard to get them to make good choices.
We try not to keep much ‘junk’ in the house anyhow so most choices are good ones.
Thank you!

Yes, I am one of those grandparents who sneak healthy food into meals. The grandkids are okay with fresh fruit and some fresh veggies, but not too keen on cooked veggies. They’ll eat corn, peas and green beans. Since we save leftover veggies for soups I’ll take some of those and puree them and add to pasta sauces. If we do make soup they’ll eat it if we add rice to their portions. I think it’s so the soup doesn’t have as much broth.
I’ll make quick breads and add fruits and things like carrots or some squash to it and they never know.

its not hard as I started them VERY young Because I have diabetes
We don’t have to sneak too much because they are food about eating fruits and veggies
I keep baby carrots around for a healthy snack that gives a crunch.
