Superfoods for Adults & Kids

 

Superfoods for Kids

As a nutritionist, I know that it is hard enough trying to get adults to eat healthy. Getting children to eat a plant based diet of fruits and vegetables seems almost impossible. If all your child wants to eat are chicken, pasta and cheese please, be patient. If you take the time now to incorporate healthy foods into your child's diet, you'll save them a lifetime of difficulty trying to create a healthy lifestyle. As an added incentive, children who are on a healthy diet have more energy, more focus and are more even-tempered, which is giving yourself a gift too.

I carry a line of superfoods that re-introduce phytonutrients and bioactive compounds to the diet, as we once enjoyed hundreds of years ago when we ate a plant based diet. Let's face it; there was a time in our history when all the foods we ate were superfoods. It took me three years of searching to find a product line that I could stand behind. 

I looked for:

1

1.    Superfoods in Powder or Liquid Form to ensure the highest probability of digestion and absorption.

2

1.    Quality Ingredients. No artificial fillers and organic, when possible. Univera produces 40% of the world’s aloe vera.

3

1.    Scientifically Sound Formulations.  I have researched each of these companies extensively and feel confident offering their products.

4

1.    Taste! Kids love these products! If they taste good (without artificial sweeteners, of course) kids will take them consistently.

5

1.    Compliance: Parents have reported high compliance and expressed how much they enjoy love knowing their kids are getting whole foods nutrition each day!

I have listed my three favorite superfood products, omega 3 supplement and my favorite snack: raw organic energy bars. I recommend Metaberry & Metagreens to all my young patients. They’ll get the equivalent of 10 servings of fruits & 5 servings of vegetables in one quick and easy drink. Essentials snack drink is ideal for a quick boost immediately before or after practice. ProOmega provides the right mix of essential fatty acids & at 120 calories Organic Food Bars are the perfect addition to your kid’s lunch or snack.

Here are my top product recommendations.

Antioxidant Drink– Liquid or packets According to the USDA, the average American needs to consume between 4 and 13 servings of fruits and vegetables each day; however, less than 11% of us meet that goal. The need to find real nourishment is increasingly difficult in today’s “fast food” world. This is a combination of cranberry, black cherry, concord grape, and blueberry concentrate in an Aloe delivery system that provides the antioxidant protection of 10 servings of fruits and vegetables in every ounce, making it quick, easy, and affordable to supplement your daily needs.

Super Greens – 30 Day Tub or Packets Includes a wide variety of vegetables from the land and sea, this convenient formula is made from cold-press juicing and vacuum assisted dehydration, making it the ideal way to get five servings of vegetables in one heaping teaspoon. This product also contains probiotics, is a natural source of B12 and iron and is flavored with pineapple esthers and not maltodextrin fillers like the other companies who offer greens product. Add 1 heaping teaspoon to ¼ cup organic orange juice (the vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron).

Essential Drink - 110 Calorie Superfood Snack Drink Replenishes the body with essential fats, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, digestible proteins and phytonutrients. All placed into on-the-go single serving portions that are the ultimate in convenience for you to have as a midmorning snack or before and after workouts. Kids can use these before their practice, events or as a quick snack between classes.                                   

Pro-Omega-JuniorNordic Naturals ProOmega Junior               – 90 softgels EPA and DHA, the two main components of omega-3 from fish oil, are essential for growth and development throughout the human life cycle.
