Simple Solutions to Beat Picky Eating - Healthy Snacks NZ RSS

Do you drink enough water? This summer, I was on a hunt to find my perfect bottle that holds enough water, so that I would not have to keep going to the sink all day. I accidentally found the 64Hydro account on Instagram and it was love at first sight.

Did you know that avocado is actually a fruit? It is especially good for the kids as the presence of folic acid helps bones and muscles growth. These muffins are tasty, super healthy and simple to make!

I discovered Kiwigarden’s freeze-dried apple slices when my first son was around 10 months old and I was on a hunt for healthier snack options for him. It was love from the first bite! If you never heard of freeze-dried products you will be thrilled to know that there are no nutrients lost during this modern manufacturing process that involves removing all the water content in the frozen state of the product.
