Kids In The Kitchen

kids-in-the-kitchen
I believe that part of raising kids needs to include food education.  How are our children going to make informed food decisions when we stop feeding them, if they don’t have the information to make those decisions?  I also think that it is great fun to include Kids in the Kitchen.  Sure, they can make a mess, but they can also be innovative and helpful.  The first recipe that I will post here shortly is a recipe that Lil M helped me to develop.  We started with a basic recipe, made a few Real Food changes and then she told me what she liked and what she didn’t like.  She is the reason that our Pumpkin Spice Muffins have raisins in them.

✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
