?1••• Let them make their OWN CHOICES. Lead them and be a positive role model but also let them have some control over their bodies and their decisions. In our experience, our children make healthier decisions when not pressured.  ?2••• Get them involved in the COOKING and lunchbox planning. This allows them to ask questions and also let’s them bring up any worries in regards to having a different lunch or food to their friends. We take our kids to the grocery store to let them choose which lunchbox items they would like for the week.  ?3••• Keep an open line of COMMUNICATI ..read more

  Ahhhh the good ol' vegan kids lunchbox. Lunchboxes in general can be daunting, tiring and hard to keep different and exciting. Mimi and Bella change their minds and tastes constantly so we are always changing up their lunchbox. The yum yums seem to become more mature and more interesting the older they get but the easiest thing to do is just ASK what they want in their lunchbox. If they want store-bought items which you don't really approve of then figure out how to make a healthier version of it. Every child is different so it is always best just to include what is best ..read more

  We are completely obsessed with acai bowls... and probably buy TOO many per week. The cost seriously adds up which is unnecessary when you can make them so easily yourself. We have been trying to perfect this for months and i seriously believe this is the BEST balance of sweetness and yumminess. The great thing about it is that you can just use blueberries instead of buying pure acai which can be hard to get and a bit costly. Have a go at this recipe, taste it, adjust as needed and top with your favourite bits and pieces. Enjoy! Makes 2 small bowls or one BIG bowl Recipe: 1 1/2 cups ..read more
