When we got pregnant with Dayton, I was even more concerned about nutrition for my baby's sake. I ate all organic meats and produce and tried to keep an incredibly clean diet. I stayed about 80/20 (80% clean and 20% cheats). This is how we normally eat, but the biggest difference was switching almost completely over to organic products. I have read way too much about what the chemicals and shady ingredients in today's food can do to your body - but I'll save that for another day.
As the years have gone by, my passion hasn't changed. As my kiddos grow older and I learn more each day, my passion for nutrition continues to grow. Dayton, my 2.5 year old, is a bottomless pit. That boy is going to eat us out of house and home! Seriously. Each meal is followed by, "I want somptin else, please!" (The hubs and I still smirk at "somptin".) I wanted to find something that would satiate his hunger, would provide added nutrition, and placate my desires for healthy snacking.
Introducing KidzShake. KidzShake is a nutritious protein powder filled with other goodies like
- probiotics (good gut bacteria)
- organic protein (builds muscles and keeps you full!)
- vitamin C (growth and repair of tissue)
- magnesium (bone strength and development)
- calcium (cardiovascular and nervous system health, bone strength)
- potassium (regulates fluids, minerals, and blood pressure)
- vitamin D (helps absorb calcium - bone health)
- B vitamins (convert food to fuel)
- fiber (balances blood sugar levels and improves digestion).
Ummm, yes, I'll take them all. Here's all of my money. Ha! No, but seriously. This protein shake designed for kids is exactly what I was looking for. (Thanks @beyondfitmom for the recommendation!) Obviously, I ordered one and was excited for Dayton to try it.
I ended up deciding on the strawberry. You can mix strawberry with all kinds of fruit flavored smoothies and I knew Dayton wouldn't have any problem drinking something fruity. The first time I gave it to him, I mixed it with some milk and put it in his cup. He gulped it down in no time! It was a huge hit. *mom cheers!*
Now, Dayton asks for his "crotein shake" on the regular. And this mama is all too happy to give it to him. Oh, you want a protein shake? Suuuure, here you go kiddo! #iwin.
The kiddo is happy. Mama is happy. And daddy is happy because it fits in the budget AND Dayton gets to drink "crotein shakes" like daddy. All around win. Do I have you convinced yet?
