These ginger lemon popsicles are a perfect solution for any loved one who is sick, recovering from surgery or for kids who want a great tasting popsicle with a healthy nutritional punch.
I’m not a fan of DEET spray given its potential toxic effects, so I created an awesome all natural bug repellent made with witch hazel and key essential oils. Essential oils have a much better safety profile than chemical insect repellants and all the oils in my recipe below have been backed by science to repel mosquitos, some even more than DEET.
Proper fuel is important for our kids brains in the morning. If they skip breakfast, they often get hungry around 10am and grab for whatever they can find at school...and it’s most often some kind of refined carb concoction of unhealthy junk.
Sometimes mornings are rushed in our house and we are running to get out the door.
Here’s a quick healthy throw together that packs healthy carb, protein, and fat and takes less than a minute to prepare. In our house we call it, Monkey Meets Squirrel.
Sweet Potato Pancakes
Young children need healthy fat to grow well. In fact, babies and young toddlers need almost half of their calories from fat, which is critical for brain growth and development. And even older children still need around a third of their calories from a healthy fat source. These Sweet Potato Pancakes are packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients that will supercharge your kids health. On-the-go parents of babies and toddlers often reach for processed, refined-grain snack foods like teething crackers, biscuits, cookies, and cereal (like Cheerios). Unfortunately, these foods offer very little nourishment and in addition to being addictive, they are also inflammatory. A great alternative are whole foods that nourish, like these Sweet Potato Pancakes. You can serve them as a meal or carry them in a to-go container as a great pincer grasp snack food. Little kids love them hot or cold.
