  • Hey guys!! Ok, let me be honest.. I've been a bit hesitant to share this video. It's always a little nerve wracking to share these types of videos on the internet. I'm not a doctor, and this channel is purely a sharing blog/vlog channel where I share what I'm up to, and what I'm doing in my home.. It's not meant to be telling anyone how they should do it.. I try to feed my kids what I feel is healthy and balanced, but honestly, a chill home is the most important thing for me, and I want my kids to make healthy choices, but also enjoy their life and eat smart. I'm down for some fast food on occasion, some junk food here and there, but I'm just doing my best like any other mama to provide them with lots of options for balanced nutrition.. I do give my children a multi vitamin daily as well. Here are just a few ides that we like around here.. Hope you enjoy!

    Love this! I have 5 younger siblings who I take care of a lot of the time, so I’m left with making them their meals and all that. This all is literally what I’ve fed them for forever! Unlike my older sister and mom who prefer to do quicker meals, less work, easy throw in the oven stuff, I love love love making “platters”! I'm a huge health nerd, so I don't ever feel okay with feeding them something that I myself will not eat. Unless it's cheese, because they love cheese :) But I love these meal planning videos! I'm so so inspired!

    This kinda makes me laugh because my daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and needs a high fat, high salt diet... like ridiculously high. So for me, I spend an hour in the grocery store asking "Is this high enough in fat? What can I add to make this more fatty? Can I add salt?" While most parents are worried about sodium levels and wether something is healthy for lunch, I'm like "Okay two pieces of high fibre white bread slathered with salted butter and then peanut butter that I've mixed a bit of salt into, whole milk with a little cream mixed in, packaged lunch meat and two cheese slices, yogurt with salt in it and maybe a couple strawberries... you know... cause healthy."

    • @Alex-sv7vt
      @Alex-sv7vt Před 4 lety +1

      Damn. A bit late to comment, but that sounds like it would be hard to manage all the time while also getting your daughter the nutrients she still needs to go plus all the fat/salt. Hope you're both doing well and she's as happy and healthy as she can be!

    Thank you for posting this! We have a very similar meal plan, and we shop at Trader Joes. I try my best to feed our children a healthy balanced diet and like you also drive thru fast food occasionally and allow treats. These are great ideas that don't involve intricate meals, and cooking a ton. Simple is easiest for me and I find our kids enjoy simple too. Thanks for the ideas! I buy very similar things as well but now I've got a few new ideas on combinations.

    cooking zucchini and putting spaghetti sauce on it is a good alternative to regular spaghetti with noodles, I sometimes make that for lunch, you can add meat to it or carrots and other vegetables and it's really, really good.

    @latonyablackgilliard Před 2 lety

    Just a tip from your friendly HealthWealth Nutritionist here! I notice some of these packaged foods have calcium carbonate. This is mined and quarried from chalk or marble and other and basically cannot be absorbed. It settles in your bones causing arthritis pain and other joint issues, so read ingredients and try to avoid this! Happy snacking!

But do tell me how did you manage to make them eat veggies and fruit in a single place . Kids here are always trying to skip meals as much as they . I had to feed them by my hand. Do make a video on it .
    Much love from Pakistan.

    • @VoiceTalk52
      @VoiceTalk52 Před 4 lety

      For The very young ones a high chair or booster chair works, anything with straps. Try to create a quiet and conducive environment for eating. I have to young boys and I too sit to feed them for every meal. But I’m slowly trying to get them to eat by themselves. Also, our food (I’m Indian) tends to be messy for toddlers to eat, with curry and rice etc. so naturally I opted to feed them by hand. Now I’m trying to make food they can pick up and eat on their own. Hope I make sense

    Totally am requesting the kid meal ideas. I personally always thought trader Joe's was a bit uppity and pricy but have started shopping there because it isn't any of those things. Shopping at Costco actually caused me to throw out a lot of food too. There are only three of us lol. My daughter as a baby ate everything. Now at an old 4yr old hates almost anything that is green. We do well with carrots and cauliflower, but anything green is tough.

    Honestly I was hesitant to watch this video because I thought I would finish it feeling like I should kick myself or I’m not doing enough. This made me feel so good! I feed pretty much the same things to my 3 year old we always shop at Trader Joe’s and get organic whenever it’s an available option. Sometimes I feel like I should be cooking up these crazy meals from scratch everyday, but honestly I’m not a great cook and she is soo picky. We’re vegetarians btw and your meal ideas are always a good help. Thank you for this video :)
