🤗Don’t be afraid to step outside the box and say NO to traditional “kids’ food”! . 💁🏻‍♀️It will make your life a lot easier in the long run! There will be struggles along the way and many moments where you ask yourself whether or not it is worth it. . I am here to tell you, IT IS WORTH IT!! 🌿 So give them that mixed green salad with random herbs from the garden. ❤️Top it with good olive oil strong enough to bite back. 🐠 Give them zinc rich smoked oysters 🐄 A potato with plenty of grass fed butter 🧠 A raw sauerkraut is a great source of beneficial bacteria to feed a healthy gut which promotes brain health! . If we all as Moms day NO together, just think about what could happen. . . . . . #moms4healthusa #realfoodeveryday #realfoodkids #kidshealth #mom #momtomom #nourishyourkids #saynotojunkfood #kidsguthealth #itisworthit #everydayrealfood (at Holly Springs, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3oOskhRdn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zfd6ppb71g54

Can I get my kids to EAT and ENJOY ORGAN MEAT? . YES!!! I would start with the heart as it is the most similar to muscle meat (aka. Steak!) . Last night we had marinated pastured beef heart for dinner! . It was amazing! All four agreed! Cameron was literally stealing William’s heart! Maddy and Annabelle dipped theirs in ketchup. . Beef heart has a higher amount of protein, thiamine, folate, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, CoQ10 and several B vitamins than muscle meat! . It is loaded with amino acids necessary for connective tissue repair and growth...perfect for kids! . 👩‍🍳 Trim the heart of fat and vessels->cut into cubes->marinate in salt, pepper, olive oil, a splash of AC vinegar and coconut aminos for up to two days then pour all into a pan and sauté until just cooked rare. . Nutrient density wins every time!! . . . . #moms4healthusa #startthemyoung #realfoodeveryday #momhealth #kidshealth #foodismedicine #kidshealth #grainfree #realfoodkids #organmeat #foodforlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdExqahjxT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6l7ir7j9vym

Raw purple cabbage for breakfast? 😁 Yes, please! . SMOOTHIE: ❤️ raw purple cabbage ❤️frozen organic strawberries ❤️banana ❤️fresh mint ❤️@greatlakesgelatin collagen hydrolysate ❤️water ✳️blend all in my Vitamix . I had lots of purple cabbage left over from making sauerkraut. So, I am going to use it in smoothies instead of greens for the next two weeks! . OATMEAL: soak gluten free rolled oats over night in water and a couple tbsp of yogurt. This increases digestibility. . My oatmeal is a used to carry many other goodies into my kids. . Oatmeal, banana, blueberries, cranberries, hemp and flax seeds, ground cinnamon and cloves, raw honey. . Is this all really necessary? Why not just feed the kiddos some fortified cereal and organic milk? . For me, I have this one window when I can teach them and feed them as many nutrients as I can. I’m taking it! Everyday I learn and apply! . Being a mom is a big job! Food can either drive us towards health or take it from us! It’s empowering and exciting to apply that thought process! . How do you steer your kids towards real food? . . . . . . #moms4healthusa #realfoodeveryday #learnandapply #momhealth #healthykitchen #freshfood #kidsnutrition #realfoodkids (at Holly Springs, North Carolina)

If your kids don’t like eggs, turn them into banana pancakes, add a little @greatlakesgelatin and you have a simple nutrient dense dinner. I added some blueberries soaked in homemade kombucha as the “syrup”. A dollop of @artisanaorganics coconut butter for some healthy fat! Mom Tip: Always add a little side salad to a treat dinner! Go light on the bacon 🥓 or pancakes (give them less than a portion) so when they want more, you can encourage some salad bites first. 😉 #moms4healthusa #bananapancakes #pasturedeggs #gelatin #coconutbutter #kidsdinner #momtips #paleo #grainfree #organicfood #realfoodeveryday

Another one of my #momtips for avoiding #foodwaste and making the most of your #nutrientdense food. Sourcing the best quality food, especially animal products, is huge! Paying a bit more for organic, pastured, grass finished meat and eggs allows you to enjoy toxin free, nutrient rich sources of body building protein and brain building fats. Take two whole chickens, stuff them, roast them and cook them down into #bonebroth You can’t beat the investment! Make sure you recruit some #littlechefs !! #moms4healthusa #roastchicken #organicchicken #pasturedmeat #mealplan #mealprep #sustainablefood #itissoimportant #realfoodeveryday

Glycine and tryptophan rich #grassfedbeef pot roast is a perfect ending to a super cold day of playing outside! #glycine is one the major building blocks of collagen. #collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. It gives our connective tissues strength and resilience. Connective tissue is the “glue” that holds us together. Kids are growing, building and repairing tissue all the time. Dietary glycine plays an important role in their diet. Tryptophan helps boost mood, promotes good #sleep and boosts #serotonin ! Look to simple foods with amazing health benefits. Enjoy them everyday! 🤗 HERE IS HOW I MADE IT: Sauté red onion and 1 head of garlic until soft. Rub the outside of two 3 pound chuck roasts with pumpkin seed flour and spices Put all in the crock pot along with one can of diced tomatoes, 3 #parsnips and 4 #carrots Cook on low for 10 hours. Shred and enjoy! #moms4healthusa #realfoodmom #crockpotrecipes #kidsfood #toddlerfood #realfoodeveryday

Simple salads are usually the best! I served this last night next to my grain free lasagna with a homemade veggie sauce. Right now, “leaves” are not a big hit...so I put them in a he kids’ smoothies/sauces. They are still getting the power of greens without knowing it. I will reintroduce the greens in a coupl weeks. It’s important for them to see their veggies too! Our salads have consisted of fresh, raw or lightly steamed veggies. In this one, I added veggies from the garden and supplemented with a perfect avocado from Costco and tomatoes from the farmer’s market. Don’t give up if your kids don’t eat vegetables right away!! Keep presenting them with a variety everyday. Most important make sure they see you eating vegetables... let them be your accountability! #moms4healthusa #eatyourveggies #feedkidsrealfood #encouragemoms #realfoodeveryday #kidsveggies #salads #gardensalad
