My Number One Child Nutrition Tip For Parents


As a Holistic Nutrition Consultant, here's my number one child nutrition tip for parents.

It's this...

Keep your child's blood sugars stable throughout the day.

It seems simple, but how often do we simply feed our kids cereal for breakfast or give them fruit as a snack or fuel them up on lots of packaged foods throughout the day?

None of which is inherently bad. And sometimes as parents, time is of the essence, so convenience foods are very helpful.

But for the most part, many kids:

  • Start the day hungry because they didn't have a balanced breakfast.
  • Get to lunch time hungry because they filled up on empty snacks in the morning.
  • Eat a carb-heavy breakfast with little protein.
  • Don't have enough healthy fats in their diet.
  • Have too much sugar throughout the day.
  • And don't stay hydrated enough.

Sound a bit like your child?

It's okay, because I've been there too.

One thing that has helped me with balancing my child's blood sugar is by always pairing my child's snack with a protein and fat.

Take a piece of fruit for example. It's natural (tick), it's healthy (tick), but it will spike your child's blood sugar without any sort of protein or fat paired with it.

Whenever I give my kids' fruit, I like to pair it with some cheese or nut butter.

Keeping your child's blood sugar throughout the day is actually simpler than you might think.

But, if you want to learn more ways to keep their blood sugar stable throughout the day, I've created a free download with some more tips and hacks. Just click the link below:

Will it be a tidy home or a love-filled home? Mama friends, I have been feeling a lot of mum guilt this week.

I have been unwell over the past few weeks and while I feel like I am doing the best that I can in being mum and homeschooler and homemaker, I've felt like it's not enough. My kids have asked to...
