It IS possible for kids to crave veggies!

by Diana

“My child doesn’t eat veggies. My child stopped eating vegetables at 18 months. No matter what I do I can’t get my child to eat his/her veggies.”

Does this sound familiar to you? Do you hear yourself when you read these words? Do you battle with this every single day?  Does your child ever eat those very important dark green leafy vegetables?

What if I told you I found the answer to these important questions?  Well, I have and I’m sharing them with everyone because I care about your family’s health.  But my answer is only for those of you who are ready to step up and be bold.  In the end, our kids’ poor eating habits are based mostly on our own.

Rock & Roll

by Diana

Is your baby or child constipated? Try a natural, yummy laxative for potty training problems involving constipation.

4 pears
1 bunch parsley
1 cup coconut water

All together in the blender and get ready to start the day re-charged. Not to mention a serious “movement inducer” for those moments where your child has trouble “going.” Another potty training tip for you!

NOTE: You can play with fruit/veggie proportions to suit your taste. Any time you need another noche of sweetness feel free to use dates or honey.   Also, I always keep my greens in the freezer so when I use they to make my smoothies I rarely need to add ice.  I’ve noticed that my family enjoys them that way — cold.  Believe it or not the right temperature is very important to make you smile.
