Clif Kids Z-Bar
My husband is a huge fan of Clif Bars---so I was thrilled to find out they have them for his mini-me too. Clif Kids Z-Bar is made with all organic ingredients with a focus on whole grains and 12 essential vitamins. What is most impressive about this bar, though, is what it doesn’t have; the Z-Bar has no hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives or artificial colors or flavors. Add a piece of fruit and a milk and it’s a fun lunch on the go, especially when traveling in the car.

Emergen-C Vitamin Packets
It’s time to stop taking your kids Flinstone Chewables. Since taking Emergen-C every night for three months (thanks Mom!) I have not gotten sick, not once, and did I mention my child is in pre-school? Simply mix this Vitamin C filled packet into a cup of water, watch it fizz, and drink it down. With flavors like tangerine and raspberry, you won’t mind the taste—like a flavored seltzer. Locally available at both Publix and Target.


Fiber One Bars
Larger, and definitely more satisfying, than many 150 calorie granola bars, Fiber One Oats and Peanut, Oats and Chocolate and Oats and Caramel bars are delicious and healthy. Great for an after nap pick-me-up, or breakfast on the go, each bar provides 9 grams of fiber and tons of other health benefits. Much more fun than getting fiber from broccoli…

Flat Earth Chips
This chip must be the love child of Pringles and Sun Chips. Thin and crispy, but square in shape, their fun flavors like Tangy Tomato Ranch and Harvest Cheddar rock our taste buds, and with only 130 calories and five grams of fat per serving, you won’t suffer a guilt trip after each yummy bite. Go to their site today to get a printable coupon for a free full-size bag!

Silk Soy Milk
So the concept of Soy Milk is probably not new to you, but three new soy milks on the market right now are taste-bud and health worthy. Silk Soymilk has just premiered Omega-3 DHA, Fiber and Bone Health enhanced soy milks. Not only do these have the great taste we remember, but they are enhanced with extra health benefits---the Plus Fiber Soymilk has 5 grams of fiber per cup!
