Full of calories with little to no nutrients.
Spikes our blood sugar and our energy only to bring us crashing down.
Fills up our bellies and leaves no room for foods that will fuel us and leave us feeling good.
We know it isnt good for us.
We know it affects our health in more ways than one.
We know our children shouldnt be eating so much of it.
Im a mama, and I feel you!
The unfortunate truth is that those cookies, cupcakes, crackers and other treats are affecting your childs health.
This feels good because we are in control!
Naturally occurring sugars such as raw honey and maple syrup are still sugar.
It doesnt make it any more nutritious than white sugar as all sugars are digested the same way.
They are all turned into glucose and used for energy.
One special and delicious treat you might try with your little ones is Pecan Chickpea Cookie Dough.
Chickpeas are a rich source of protein and fiber, which can help our children feel full and satisfied.
Chickpeas also help stabilize blood sugar and encourage healthy digestion.
Decrease the sugar and increase the nutrients!
