Stick to a better diet - even around your kids



Maintaining a healthy diet can be a challenging when you're a mom, especially when your kids are averse to any food that's green.

"The secret is being super organized"

  • Eat a quick breakfast every morning. Most often, try to microwaves a bowl of oatmeal and tops it with fresh blueberries, so we know we are starting off the day with something nutritionally sound.
  • Sneak in the nutrients. Blend steamed vegetables (broccoli, peppers, carrots) in a food processor, than mixes them into kid-friendly dishes, so mom can enjoy them too. Some favourites : pancakes with sweet potato puree, and macaroni and cheese made with reduced-fat cheddar and cauliflower puree
