As parents, we all know that sometimes it can be a real battle getting our kids to eat nutritious foods.
Produce protest!
My littles fight me every meal when I try to get them to each their fruits and veggies.
I’ve tried being sneaky with my meals by adding purées and making smoothies, but the littles use their “produce-dar” and can detect any minute amount of the “good stuff”, and turn their noses up at it.
Now that our daughter is starting Kindergarten this year, I now have the task of coming up with nutritious snacks and lunches that she will eat.
Locally based out of Vancouver, Gnubees by GnuSante are delicious nutritious beverages made from 100% non-GMO, nut-free and Kosher certified products. Each nutritiously balanced pouch contains 15% of all recommended vitamins and minerals, plus 7 grams of protein and 5 grams of fibre. They are also low in GI (glycemic index) and each serving contains all 9 amino acids that children require for development.
They come in three super yummy flavours; Rockin’ Raspberrita, Orange You Glad?, and Go Bananas! And the great thing is that they are sweetened with honey, so your kidlets won’t experience the sugar high and crash that many snacks create.
Our wee lad is partial to the Go Bananas!
You can enjoy Gnubees straight from the pouch (they are especially yummy when they are chilled!) or add them to a favourite recipe to up the nutritional content and bring some pizzazz to the flavour!
ENTER TO WIN!!
Until September 30th, 2014, you can enter to WIN a one month supply of Gnubees, valued at $95!

This is our first year, so working with DD about her fears of going to school and missing me all day. Poor little thing. #simplyhealthykids

It’s a challenge to keep lunch interesting for our son so I definitely appreciate a product with more than one flavour so I can mix things up each lunch! #simplyhealthykids

My biggest challenge with back to school is getting back on schedule – e.g. getting the kids fed on time, bathed on time, in bed on time, up on time in the morning (I struggle with getting up too!), out the door on time, and arriving at school on time. We are usually late more than once a week despite our best efforts. Sigh. #simplyhealthykids

My son loves the pouches. Do these have a serving of veggies as well, or just the fruit?

I find it’s hard to create a lunch that’s both healthy and my son will actually eat at school. #simplyhealthykids

My 19 month old son is so picky and was considering the pediasure just to supplement but then got my hands on these (they send you a comparison chart when you order that compares similar products on the market) they have more minerals ect. plus I like them too ;)!

I have found the drop off the hardest. My little guy is very hesitant to go to school and it breaks my heart. #simplyhealthykids
