If you are worried that your child is not keeping up with the growth curve, don’t reach for PediaSure!
You can easily add healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to their diet without all the added junk and toxins found in PediaSure.
Let’s take a look at this popular “health” drink for kids:
1. Sugar is one of the top 3 ingredients.
2. Contains soy, which can disrupt hormonal balance.
3. Contains dairy, which can be mucus forming and is highly allergenic. In fact, it contains nonfat milk, which is The most toxic form of milk.
4. Contains corn maltodextrin, which is almost always genetically modified.
5. Contains artificial flavors- always stay away from artificial anything in food!
6. Contains canola oil- highly inflammatory and most likely genetically modified.
7. Contains carrageenan, which has been linked to tumors and cancer in numerous lab rat studies. Also contributes to digestive issues.
I could keep going, but hopefully you get the picture!
Instead of PediaSure, make a healthy “milkshake” for your child! Here’s a recipe that my son LOVES. I absolutely love knowing that he’s getting tons of nutrients from whole, pure foods. This recipe contains loads of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins that are great for your child’s developing body!!
Landen’s Chocolate Banana Milkshake
– 3 ice cubes
– 1 cup Almond Milk (homemade or look for a brand with clean ingredients and no carrageenan!)
– 1/2 banana
– 1/2-1 TBSP of walnut (Purchase HERE)
– 1/2 TBSP hemp hearts (Purchase HERE)
– 1/2 TBSP chia seeds (Purchase HERE)
– 1/2 Tsp Psyllium Husk Powder (Purchase HERE)
– 1/2 scoop of Plant Fusion Chocolate Protein Powder (Purchase HERE)
Other options:
– Any fruit that your child likes but don’t overdo it on the fructose. You just want to sweeten it enough to taste.
– Almond Butter or Sunbutter no added ingredients
– Echinacea Liquid- I add this once or twice a week during cold season and every time if my son is sick. I prefer Standard Process Mediherb brand.
– Colloidal Silver- I add this during winter months. It is tasteless and helps boost the immune system. (Purchase HERE)
**Note: if you choose a different brand of protein powder, please double check the ingredients! Many are filled with junk and can be just as unhealthy as Pediasure!
