Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Unless you’re me. Then breakfast is the most ignored meal of the day. Sure, I can get my kids out of the house with full bellies in the morning but that usually leaves me with no time to eat anything and I wind up eating chips or something once I realize I’m starving. Recently, though, I discovered Bear Naked Custom Granola and I’m now feeling inspired to kick up my breakfast a notch by preparing a delicious yogurt parfait every morning! I usually make mine once I get back from dropping my kids off; it’s like a special treat just for me! 

It’s no secret that my kids can be fussy eaters (or complete non-eaters) sometimes, so I’m always looking for mom hacks to make sure they’re getting what they need nutritionally, despite their poor eating habits. I’ve mentioned in the past that I like to sneak fruits and veggies into smoothies for my girls so today I’m sharing a new 3-in-1 favorite that’s a great alternative to junk food (or, no food), Daily Sunshine. Even though it comes dairy-free and is great mixed with just water, we put our own little spin on it to make it even more delicious.

Someone please tell me that I’m not the only one who gives their kids half water half juice cocktails. While I’m a juice lover myself, I cringe at the thought of my girls drinking so much sugar. If I had my way, they’d drink plain water and/or coconut water all the time but they get bored with both. Thankfully, I found a brand new, delicious and refreshing juice from Welch’s that’s 100% juice with 30% less sugar! Oh, and the best part? It has coconut water in it!
