Ever think you’re hungry, but then you grab a glass of water or tea and your hunger goes away? Kids can mistake thirst for hunger too! When you’re kids are home over winter break for the next week don’t let the snacking drive you crazy – offer water, water, water!
Then after slugging down some H2O set out that veggie plate or fruit salad and let them have at it! Don’t forget the protein too – we 
are keeping a tray of nitrate free lunch meat and organic cheese for snackin mid-afternoon. It holds the kiddos over until dinner and avoids the sugar rush crazies!
Oh, I almost forgot! We also have a bowls of nuts sitting out on the kitchen island for snacking at ALL times year round. Half the time the kids eat the nuts while deciding what to snack on and then they aren’t hungry at all for the snack foods they were looking for. It’s a great way to get them good fats into their diet (Moms & Dads too!).
NOTE: Quality of water does count. Are you looking for a way to provide better water in your home with less chemicals, metals and other floaty stuff? Check out this option from Shaklee Best Water Care.
