There is no denying that kids love snacks. This is especially true as they’re growing and their small tummies need more frequent meals. It’s important that parents understand how to choose healthy snacks for kids that provide the nutrition needed for their rapidly developing minds and bodies. However, it’s also important that healthy, kid-friendly snacks be easy to prepare and take on-the-go.
Our mission is to make mealtime stress-free for parents, while providing healthy meals for kids that they’ll love. What that means is nutritious meals delivered straight to your door, with customizable features and fun activities that make the entire Yumble experience fun for kids and convenient for parents.
Sandwiches are the ultimate go-to for lunch, especially for parents feeding their children. They’re quick, easy, and extremely versatile. Children can eat them without making a mess too, which is big plus. However, no matter how many ways we can switch up the ingredients in a sandwich, we want to make sure we also offer other healthy lunch options for our kids.
Parents want to feed their kids the right foods so that they grow up healthy and strong. But it’s not always easy to create a balanced diet. With busy schedules, parents need to be mindful of what their kids are eating. “Eating right doesn’t have to be complicated,” says registered dietitian nutritionist Robin Foroutan, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Here are some ways parents can better plan a balanced diet for their kids.
For most parents, toddlerhood can feel like an interminable era of “no.” Whether they are refusing to wear a jacket in subzero temperatures, brush their teeth, or eat their dinner, toddlers are often saying “no” and pushing the limits of their parents’ patience. When it comes to food, this can be particularly concerning as the more toddlers refuse (or throw, or spit out) a variety of foods, the more parents worry that their toddlers are not getting the nutrition they need. Here at Yumble, we may not be able to get your toddler to put on their jacket when it’s freezing (but believe us that we’ve been there) but we can provide some advice and reassurance when it comes to understanding why toddlers are picky eaters.
“Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail” is something I remind myself of all the time. Not only does planning and preparing help me to stay organized at work and at home, but it also allows me to feel calmer and organized. So in order to avoid Sunday night blues, or Monday morning anxiety about a hectic week, I always dedicate an hour each Sunday to planning the week - from meals, to playdates, to doctor appointments. And so my weekday dinner menu ideas for kids is obviously an important part of that planning.
We’ve long been told (and probably tell our kids) that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Though nutrition researchers are still trying to figure out if it’s the most important we do know that breakfast helps start your day out right. Studies have shown that eating breakfast helps kids concentrate better in school and perform better on tests. Breakfast is also associated with maintaining weight and keeping blood sugar more stable throughout the day (with regular meals/snacks).
