Breakfast To Go
Kids cruising to school on an empty tank?
Submitted by alara on Sun, 08/23/2009 - 11:00pm. Shift gears, and fuel their bodies with an organic, on-the-go breakfast instead of sugary morning foods. These options are healthy for kids and farmland, plus easy to grab when you're racing out the door.Eyebrow:
Run an Eco Lemonade Stand
Wanna help your kids corner the neighborhood market on lemonade?
Submitted by alara on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 11:00pm. Squeeze out the competition - and the best drinks: Help them set up an eco lemonade stand. With organic and local ingredients, plus planet-friendly supplies, your pint-size entrepreneur can make some cash without bankrupting resources.Eyebrow:
Public Water Fountains
Stranded at the park without a drop to drink?
Submitted by alara on Wed, 08/05/2009 - 11:00pm. All's not lost. Before scavenging with the kiddos for bottled H2O, consider a draught from a nearby public drinking fountain. It's free, water's clean, and you get bottle-free aqua that's more than a mirage.Eyebrow:
Nondairy Ice Cream
Is your heart's desire a dairy-free dessert?
Submitted by alara on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 11:00pm. Wish granted: Try a scoop of organic coconut, rice, soy, or hemp ice cream for your kiddo. They're produced without pesticides (or animal products, natch), safe for kids with food allergies, and makes no difference who you are, they taste great.Eyebrow:
Yogurt Taste Test
Dare your kids to eat something healthy?
Submitted by alara on Thu, 07/23/2009 - 11:00pm. Truth: They might like it. Give organic yogurt a whirl. It's nutritious and produced sans pesticides that pollute little bodies and farmland. Our tiny test Biters lapped these up. For real.Eyebrow:
Fruit Leathers
Strong chance of a kid meltdown?
Submitted by alara on Mon, 07/13/2009 - 11:00pm. If crankiness from hunger is moving in (toddler freak-outs sometimes = low-blood sugar), avert the raging storm with organic fruit leather snacks. Portable and healthy, they're great for tiding kids over until mealtime. Back to you, Biters.Eyebrow:
Healthier Sodas
Ready to commit to a new thirst quencher?
Submitted by alara on Wed, 07/01/2009 - 11:00pm. Here's a proposal: Say "I do" to low-sugar sodas with real fruit juice. Most pop's loaded with caffeine and artificial sweeteners. These tasty drinks satisfy your kid's cola cravings in a healthier way. Yes!Eyebrow:
Organic Ice Cream
Wanna read all about frosty desserts?
Submitted by alara on Thu, 06/25/2009 - 11:00pm. Cool off the presses with organic ice cream for your kids. It's got all the flavor of the regular stuff, but uses hormone-free milk and pesticide-free fruit. Get extra, extra.Eyebrow:
Eco Popsicle Molds
Wanna be the mom all the kids are raving about this summer?
Submitted by alara on Mon, 05/18/2009 - 11:00pm. You're most likely to succeed if you...make your own ice pops in reusable molds (and delicious, fruity flavors won't hurt either - check the blog for our pop recipe).Eyebrow:
