GOOD BAG for KIDS -nutrition to go!




“You can be amazing. You can turn a phrase in to a weapon or a drug. You can be the outcast or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love or you can start speaking up.” This video speaks to me. I love how positive it is!!!

 Let's face it ....words hurt.  When I was little I used food as a crutch. I was teased from being overweight and it stung. I don't want any of my own students to ever feel like an outcast. I'm speaking up about being role models to students. 

 This year I'm committing to getting as healthy as I can and being a role model for my students. Do you  set good habits for your students and own children? I'm not a mom just yet but I do know the importance of setting a good example. Lately, I've been so busy and I've been eating junk. It's all stopping TODAY. It's going to be hard but I need to get it under control.



I get it...today's families are busy and always on the go - unfortunately kids need to snack 4-5 times/day and convenient food is often devoid of nutrition. I've found an amazing product that I'm so happy to share with you.  
GOOD BAGS for KIDS









 GOOD BAG for KIDS's mission is to make healthy food available everywhere kids are!


All of the products in the bag have been hand selected as THE best products on the market, with every bag including: a protein, healthy carbohydrate, fruit supplement, healthy sweet treat, a probiotic, healthy fat/fish oil, kid's vitamin mix to be added to water, educational information for families, fun surprises and activities for the kids.
I just love the concept of GOOD BAG for KIDS by Dr. Natalie Geary. It's perfect because it  is an on the go, organic, nut free, gluten aware, shelf stable snack concept for kids.  Good BAGS include  a day's worth of snacks and supplements -  or it can also be used as a shelf stable meal replacement when in a pinch!  

The purpose of The GOOD BAG is that parents should never have to sacrifice nutrition for convenience. Snacks are carefully chosen for their nutritional content, age appropriateness and category to make up the necessary snacks required for a day or a shelf stable meal replacement.   GOOD BAGS are available at abesmarket.com and Amazon and Vine.com -

    I have recently lost 50 lbs and it is important for my students to know about my journey and my healthy lifestyle. I eat regularly (fruit and veggies) through out the day in my classroom. SInce my kids see me eat, I allow them to eat as well but it has to come from the earth! Also, during recess, if they come show me a snack that is healthy, I give them extra credit. I am trying to detour them from the traditional bag of hot cheetos that most of the kids bring!

    I love squeezable applesauce, especially the SpongeBob kind that is banana flavored. May not sound appealing, but it tastes like banana baby food to me which I enjoy.
    I also like bananas or oranges, plus occasionally apple slices with almond or cashew butter.

    I can absolutely relate to quick yummy snacks that aren't super healthy - I love them... But yesterday my friend told me that frozen grapes are delicious? Have you tried those? I'm going to.

      Frozen grapes are delicious. Wash and take them off the stem, put on a cookie sheet or a pan with a rim (they roll) stick them in the freezer for 2-3 hours then store in a freezer bag. Do not thaw, eat them frozen, they are not rock hard when frozen, just delicious!

    I am actually quite healthy when school is going on, but something about summer makes me go crazy. I think I crave schedule and I don't really have that during summer, so working out goes out the window, and then the eating follows.

    I love these bags -- I looked at the ingredients and there are a lot of things that I give my two year old daughter!

    I would have to say my favorite snack is grapes and strawberries. I measure them out and have little baggies ready to grab from the refrigerator.

    One of my favorite snacks are Fiber One snacks. Brownies, bars... it doesn't matter. They are all good.

    Do pistachios count as a healthy snack? Because I absolutely ADORE pistachios...I like food that I have to work hard to enjoy. Laughing Cow cheeses are also a favorite. My kids love Jammy Sammies and Buddy Fruits...I know they'd love a Good Bag! Thanks for the opportunity!
