If you have a picky little eater then you know how stressful it is trying to keep them nourished! I've found some wonderful ways to help with this. Out of five kids, all but one is picky, so I've had some practice! Two of my children especially have been exceedingly picky to the point I worried they might not be getting enough nutrition at times!

When my oldest was a toddler I found three of these four nutritious products.  After he had been on them for about three months his tastes seemed to start changing and expanding to include more and better foods, and he just seemed so much healthier.

I'm currently dealing with another extra picky child that just won't grow out of the phase. His Doctor suggested offering him the food I've made and if he doesn't want it to put it in the fridge and offer it again when he says he is hungry. This worked for almost a year! Then it stopped working. Ugh.

I know he will eventually grow out of this phase, but my mama heart always worries when my kids do this. I've gathered the same products I used for my first super extra picky kid, plus one product. Here's what we are doing to keep this kid's body supported and nourished until he grows out of this! By the way, these are all so healthy, they don't have to be saved for only the picky kids! All kids should be on most these in my opinion!

So NingXia Red-what is it? This is a tasty, sweet and tangy superfood drink made with wolfberries from the Ningxia Provence in China. It's fortified with essential oils,  and is a very powerful nutrient dense product. It can help prevent oxidative stress, support eye health and provide energy throughout the day. You can put it in a smoothie, or what we like to do especially for the kids is freeze the packets and make popsicles or slushies.

Bonus; If you have a picky school aged child, you might consider MindWise. Mindwise is a drink. Not the best tasting but not terrible either. So this definitely isn't for little little ones as they might spit it out. But this is a drink that supports cognitive/brain health, and contains healthy fatty acids and omega 3 fatty acids, CoQ10, ALCAR and GPC as well as D3. This is something I like to give my older picky eaters to help them focus in school.

Probiotics-these are good for all kids, not just picky eaters. MightyPro is a blend of pre and probiotics specially created just for children. They contain over 8 billion active, live culters, which is a very good thing! These help support the digestive system and the immune system. The prebiotic in them is Ningxia wolfberry fiber, once again wolfberries are packed with nutrients!

The MightyVites; what are they? MightyVites are a whole food vitamin. Even before I was a YLEO distributor I only ever recommended whole food vitamins because the absorbency rate is so much higher with them then with purely synthetic vitamins. Although whole food vitamins usually contain some synthetic vitamins, this one contains a food based superfruit plant, and veggie blend that help ensure maximum nutrition and absorption. Like Young Livings Masters Formula (whole food vitamin), MightyVites is made with natural folate instead of folic acid, which is a very good thing. MightyVites also contains minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Balance Complete; once again, we have a superfood product. This is a meal replacement that is also a gentle cleanser! It contains more Ningxia wolfberry, brown rice bran (colon cleanser), barley grass, coconut oil, aloe vera, and whey protein. It's high in fiber, protein, good fats, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. So  if you have a kid like mine that thinks the only food group should be macaroni and cheese, ice cream, and graham crackers, this stuff is going to be a Godsend! Balance Complete is the one thing probably not all kids need. Just the kids who think it's perfectly fine to live off of graham crackers.

Did you know that probiotics are a powerful supplement that can support your immune system through improving gut health, and that they may even be supportive to weight management? WebMD has an article on the latter topic entitled Bacteria in Gut Linked to Obesity.

Research has shown that it can take 3 months or more for probiotics to establish a healthy colony of good bacteria in the gut. Here's a little video I made for you on our favorite probiotic, and why we love it!
