I decided I’d start a new set of posts about our favorite things of the month! There will be some of my things, Jaidan’s things, Jareds things, apps, books, things in general… just whatever seemed to be our go-to items for that month. So here are our
March Favorites:
Look and Find Treasury Book
The first one is this Look & Find Treasury book. We bought it for Jaidan and every single night for the past month we have read it to him, he’s looked at it by himself and has memorized where almost every item is. He is absolutely in love with this book!
EWG Website
This next favorite is a website that I’ve been loving. It’s EWG’s Guide to Healthy Cleaning.
I went through our cleaning supplies and I think I really will stick to my vinegar water and baking soda to clean things. I had a coupon for Method cleaner so I bought it at only 66 cents. Well how worth it is it if the rating is a C. YUCK!
Almond Butter
This almond butter is delicious AND the whole package only has 2grams of sugar & like 7 or 8 grams of protein. It’s the perfect snack on a banana or by itself. (NOTE: They have the hazelnut and maple too but they are higher in sugar so just stick with this one & you’ll never know if you are missing out on the others.) I’m going to get a jar of it, but these little packets are perfect in your diaper bag or purse for a quick <healthy> snack!
Vitamins: Congaplex
We love our congaplex vitamin around here. It provides antioxidants & supports a healthy immune response. We take it at the first sign of a cold but also we give it to Jaidan along with vitamin C when he will be around a bunch of kids. It’s chewable since I don’t swallow pills and the taste is definitely weird, but he actually likes it.
New Blender!
And I’ll end our March favorites with our new smoothie maker. Ours was horrible & didn’t even blend up the bananas anymore so we HAD to get a new one since we use it daily. We got this Ninja to try it out and we like it!
This smoothie has carrot juice, banana, frozen strawberries, pineapple, apple, kale, and flax seed. We make them all different ways depending on what we have.
We used our heart shaped ice cube trays to freeze the pineapple juice for our smoothies.
And then did the same for our carrot juice.
And look who is very happy about his smoothies! He used to only eat the ‘red smoothies’ but he likes the orange and green smoothies now too. 🙂
