My Shopping List for Raising Healthy Kids

This blog post is sponsored by iHerb. Thanks for supporting the brands that support my blog!

I have been talking a lot about the ‘New Year, New You’ theme this month. I am a strong believer that small steps in the right directions can make big changes in the long run. That is why I love shopping at iHerb, with over 35,000 products to choose from, I can find everything I need for a healthy lifestyle, from organic makeup – to vitamin supplements and so much more.

But today I don’t want to talk about myself and my healthy goals. As a mother, I am not only responsible for my health, I also have two little kiddies to think of. Zoey and Zander are both in a crucial stage of life. They are developing habits, for better or for worse. As the parent it is my job to foster healthy habits in my children.

When it comes to your child’s health there are a lot of things to think of. There are snacks, formula, meals, baby care products like lotion, shampoo, soap, etc., vitamins and supplements, and so much more. It can be overwhelming to track down everything you need for your baby. That is why I like to do all my healthy baby lifestyle shopping in one place.

You can find everything you need to create a healthy lifestyle for your baby and toddler at iHerb. An awesome perk if you have never shopped there before is that new customers can get 5% off their first iHerb order by clicking here plus an additional $5 off their minimum order of $40 if they use the promo code, WELCOME5. They ship to over 160 countries and their customer support team speaks 10 languages!! I love that iHerb is truly making the whole world a healthier place, one order at a time.

Raising Healthy Kids: My Shopping List

I thought that easiest way to share some ideas for raising healthy kids would be to share what I got in my last order from iHerb. Below is everything that came in my last iHerb package. They are just a few of my favorite healthy products for kids.

Healthy Snacks: Plum Organics Super Puffs

Plum Organics Super Puffs are one of my kids favorite healthy snacks. But I can never find a good variety of flavors at the retail stores I regularly shop. On iHerb I can find a large selection of flavors at the perfect price point, with the added convenience of having it delivered right to my door. In this order I got Mango Sweet Potato, Spinach Apple and Strawberry Beet. Zoey and Zander go through these puffs like candy, and I love that they are packed with healthy ingredients.

Vitamins and Supplements: Smarty Pants Vitamins

There is a huge variety of vitamins and supplements, just for kids, on iHerb. But my favorite brand for myself and the kiddies is Smarty Pants Vitamins. Their taste is hard to beat, and they are very transparent with their ingredients, so you can feel confident you are giving the best to your kids. This time I got their Kids Complete Multivitamin that has omega 3 fish oil, vitamin B12 and vitamin D3. I also grabbed the Kids Complete + Fiber and the Kids Probiotic Complete.

Organic Formula: Plum Organics Grow Well Formula

On iHerb you will find a good selection of organic baby formula for the littlest people in your life. I love Plum Organics Grow Well Formula and so does Zander. I first introduced it to him when he was about six weeks old. It was a great option for when I needed to leave him with Kris or a babysitter for a few hours and couldn’t be there to nurse him. To this day he still loves it. I have tried a lot of different formula’s since then and this is one of my favorites.

Trying to raise healthy kids can be an overwhelming task, but iHerb makes it easy to find everything you need. You can select from 1000’s of healthy brands, all in one place. It makes healthy living fun for the kids too! Zoey recognizes the iHerb box and is always excited to see what is inside of it for her!
