5 Foods You Shouldn’t Feed Your Children Being told what you shouldn't feed your children may make you angry. Let’s face it, most of us know we’re feeding our kids thing we shouldn’t. And yes, what if life were “perfect” and we could organically grow all of our family’s non-GMO food in our backyard garden. Here’s some better choices. 1. Fruit Snacks: But they’ve got the word “fruit” in them, they can’t be all bad, right? Fruit snacks are basically just little bags of sugar. The better choice, real fruit. It’s really no harder or more expensive to eat an apple, orange, banana, or some grapes. 2. Breakfast Cereal: Because who has time to make a “real” breakfast? And you really can’t go wrong with cereal, there’s a flavor for every different taste out there. Unlike fixing different dinners to please each child’s palate, it’s easy to offer different boxes of cereal to each child. Look for cereals that have under five grams of sugar per serving. You can liven up some of the more “boring” cereals by adding fresh fruit. And really, a quick bowl of oatmeal or a piece of peanut butter toast. 3. Flavored Yogurt: This is another one of those “I’m feeding my kids yogurt, that sounds healthy” kind of foods. But the things they’ve done to yogurt these days make many of them anything but healthy Stick to Greek-style yogurts and add in your own fruit or healthy granola to make them appeal to your children. 4. Granola Bars: Any kind of bar is SUCH an easy way to satisfy a child desperate for a snack. They fit so nicely in your purse and require no work on your part. Popular granola bars today include little fiber and protein and lots of added sugar. You can customize the granola bar recipes to fit your kids' needs. 5. Soda and Juice: Again we’re back to our old friend sugar here. Like fruit snacks, fruit juices are giving you none of the benefits of eating a piece of fruit.
