The past few years there has been an initiative to limit children’s intake of soda; by removing it from vending machines, offering healthier alternatives, and education about it’s disadvantages. It is hard to find a healthier version of the sugar-loaded carbonated beverages we have all become so attached to and that is why Juicy Juice developed a new Sparkling Fruit Juice, an all-natural, lightly carbonated drink that provides one serving of fruit.
Sparkling Juicy Juice comes in apple, orange, and berry flavors and is a blend of 70% real fruit juice and 30% lightly carbonated water. Each can has less than 100 calories and is an excellent source of vitamin C. With a soda-like can and light carbonation, your children won’t even know this is a healthier alternative. My son was thrilled because he thought he was drinking something special – and it is! You can purchase these new Sparkling Juicy Juices at most major retailers and at Amazon.com

I make bread out of almond meal and use stevia, or out of coconut flour and it is quite good. I also make homemade keifer which is very good for you. I try to cut grains and sugar out of our diet as much as I can.

We try to use whole wheat bread, bagels, and muffins instead of white. We encourage water as a drink, and don’t serve our kids soda or fruit drinks – some 100% juice is okay. Milk with meals. And nutritious snacks such as fresh fruit, yogurt, whole grain cereal bars and cereals for our kiddos – and us too!

The little ones actually like baby carrots and walnuts!
Fruit for a snack instead of fruit snacks

We never buy white bread anymore. My granddaughter likes a peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread for an afterschool snack.
We pretty much eat what we want. I focus more on their activity level, not so much what they eat. However, I only use 100% fruit juice and whole milk. They do like vegetables and fruit which are in addition to everything else we eat, and sweets are limited. Overall though, when they are active enough, fats and calories are easily burned off. The focus being that children should be outside all day playing and not inside in front of a television, video games, or computer. Those three alone are the cause of health concerns these days in children that we didn’t have when I was a child.
I get these all the time
wheat bread, broccoli and cheese soup, and veggie lasagnas made with wheat pasta

My children and I work together to grow vegetables in our back yard. We pick fruit from our trees in season. The kids are delighted to eat fresh vegetables cooked or not instead of snacks from the
grocery store. They eagerly eat the fruits they picked themselves.
soy milk instead of milk
desserts can only be had after a 20 minute wait to give our stomachs a chance to catch up with our eating. We also do popcorn instead of chips.
We do fresh fruit, apple sauce or raisin as a snack instead of chips or candy. I also only buy 100% juice instead of soda or cool aid type drinks.
For school snacks its always fruit, cheese and wheat crackers or a granola bar.
