Featured Response 💬 

“We avoid added sugar and other chemical additives and try to buy the cleanest products we can for a balanced diet. But at the end of the day, giving her a choice in what she eats results in less tears and arguing to provide her the healthiest relationship with food as we can. We've accomplished this by having one cabinet that is all hers that she can reach and go through to select items she wants. I just make sure the cabinet is stocked with healthy mom approved options portioned out.”

- Community Mom

That sounds like such a thoughtful approach—giving her the freedom to choose from a mom-approved cabinet is a genius way to keep things balanced and stress-free! - Danielle 😊

Note 📌 

  • If the dip feels too thick, add a little milk to thin it out.

  • A teaspoon of honey can also sweeten things up, but I believe in its original charm.

And there you have it, mama - the secret weapon to turn your kids into veggie warriors! 🦸‍♂️

Until next time, keep spreading the yummy love! 💛🍏
