Our Special Gummy Vitamins :)


When I had the opportunity to shoot a video to talk about the kids going back to school and L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™  Complete, I jumped at the chance.  We’re mega fans–give me a foam finger, that would be us.  We love these things.  We have been eating them for 2 years or more.  They are easily a highlight of our morning, other than the full blown hot breakfast we make each morning including eggs from our own chickens…but somehow, the kids go batty over these vitamins.

 

Kids flinging food?  Not eating the food lovingly created and prepared for them?  Use what I do: “When you’re done you can have your vitamins!” and the good food I lovingly cooked and served is FINISHED!  And voila, here is a vitamin for you, yes, a vitamin.  It fits for us, cause if it’s food they eat, we want it to nourish them.  I mean, obviously, right?  Once, I saw a food logo for chips that read, “Food–just for fun!” and I thought (Picture Grumpy Cat frowning at the behavior altering additives and coloring): “No.”  Why not put into our bodies what makes our bodies feel and do well?  Now that’s food for fun (Happy Cat face).

 

We love that L’il Critters™ is flavored naturally.  We see such a difference for them, say after a good day of good food, verses a day at a party or somewhere where they are eating things that aren’t good for their little bodies (they become wrecks).  Kiss ‘em goodday.

 

We think that if we feed them well now, early and regularly, their little bodies will develop to the best of their abilities, to their fullest potentials and they will develop a taste for good healthy food for the long term.  Making healthy eating just ‘normal eating.’

So, specifically about L’il Critters™, they are easy for my kids to eat. They can’t swallow pills but can chew gummies and these vitamins are sold at the places we shop at (like Target). They are made in the USA and they make nutrition taste good in a gummy.  It’s a small part of our day (the end of breakfast), but it’s a little healthy sweet spot.
