Easy Apple Breakfast Pizzas, vitafusion™ ImmuneWell™, and our family’s path to better health!
Now that the school year is in full swing, I’ve been thinking a lot about our family’s health… about the choices I make, big and small, to ensure a lifestyle that is good for us… while still being enjoyable! If it were up to my kids, they’d have donuts for breakfast and fluffernutter for lunch and we’d probably be ordering pizza or eating out nearly every night of the week. Alas, this is not real life.
No, real life is about taking care of ourselves and the ones we love. It’s about making healthy choices when it comes to what we eat, how we spend our time, how much sleep we get… in other words, it’s about doing what’s best for ourselves and our kids, even when it goes against everything our kids (and maybe we, ourselves) think they want!
I don’t know about you, but I struggle with this type of thing. On the one hand, of course I want to do what’s best. I want to raise healthy kids who are getting all the good things they need. And on the other hand… well… I don’t want it to be a constant battle! Because there’s something to be said for peace and sanity. You know what I mean? Which is why I truly believe it’s all about balance. About making choices that have a big impact without feeling painful! Things like easy, delicious food options (this Apple Breakfast Pizza is one of our favorites), physical activity that feels fun (soccer, anyone?), and daily vitamins that we all actually enjoy taking!
The makers of vitafusion™ and L’il Critters™ have the right idea – making nutrition taste good by combining the power of vitamins with a great-tasting gummy. Their vitamins have a great, fruity flavor and a gummy texture… and I’m not exaggerating when I say my kids wake up asking for them. Which, needless to say, is a major mom win!
And I have to admit, I enjoy them, too. One of my favorites is the vitafusion™ ImmuneWell™. It provides immune system support, which every mom needs! But the options are endless – the vita fusion™ and L’il Critters™ portfolio of vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements is specially designed to meet the specific health needs of children, men, women, pregnant women and those 50+. And best of all, they’re vitamins you can really feel good about. All vitafusion™ products are gluten-free, and made with natural fruit flavors and colors derived from fruits, vegetables and plants. L’il Critters™ gummy vitamins have no high fructose corn syrup, no synthetic (FD&C) dyes, and are gluten free. And did I mention… they taste great, too!? Better health, made easy. Just the way I like it!
