What are you eating?

Good idea!!!! I might try that!!!! Buy whipped cream. The girl would live on ice cream if I let her. Need to hide some frozen peas in it or something. LOL

I would strongly suggest looking at the ingredients in that "whipped cream." A lot of it is chemically based. You could get actual heavy whipping cream and make some ...add a little sweetener and vanilla in. (I use stevia, erythritol, xylitol, or monk fruit, but you could use honey or raw cane sugar, coconut sugar, etc.)

You might even blend the ingredients and make a fruit smoothie if you make it sweet enough. Add frozen banana and berries in with whipping cream and a little cream cheese, sprinkle granola over it .... it'll taste like cheese cake!

You can hide all sorts of goodness in fruit smoothies.

This is tasty ...tastes more like banana than apple. I've used it in smoothies. Walmart carries it. I also get it on Amazon. Goodness, I even throw in some MCT oil and grass fed beef collagen. It's tasteless.

Or get a carton of heavy whipping cream and whip up your own so you can control the sugar content. And a little vanilla extract makes it sweeter too.

Wow, we were kinda thinking the same thing. lol

Other than that she has a few healthy favorites: salmon cakes, popcorn, kale chips, granola, homemade (healthy) rice "ramen", plain yogurt, cranberry sauce, crunchy chickpeas, sometimes smoothies.

Are you sure she’s a child? That sounds like a list of things my parrot used to like…

If I can organize the kitchen it might motivate me some to cook more. My husband only likes hamburger helper. LOL

@FluffyYellowDuck Shows that what one likes and what one wants can be vastly different...

Peas are sweet ....in moderation, they could probably be added into a sweet dish. Banana nut bread can be modified to be more healthy. Just takes some sneaky creativeness. lol

 

[Mayflower]

OK I literally almost hurled when I found out they made sweet pea icecream:

Oh wow!!!!!

Creativeness is the word.... you guys have a great Christmas....

 

[Mayflower]

I really should take up cooking more for my kids' sake. We eat some healthy snacks at home, but we eat out quite a bit.

 

[farouk]

Oh wow!!!!!

@Mayflower Wondered what your reaction would be... :)

Sneak some hemp, chia, and flax seeds into your pasta dishes ...or perhaps quinoa in the rice dishes. I usually would add hemp seeds in those as well. They can be sprinkled over salads, in soups, in baked goods...

 

[Raccoon1010]

Oh wow!!!!!

Yea, it's healthy, but the flavor. I would think granola and berries might be a better idea with yogurt or something healthy like that. I had a girlfriend in highschool that worked at the local yogurt shop and it can be healthy to while tasting good.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Lol. They’ll eat healthy if it KILLS you, by gosh!

So is hemp...a bit like a soft form of marijuana?

 

[stunnedbygrace]

Lol

@Mayflower We too eat out maybe more than we should...

Never heard of hemp seeds. I know we love sunflower seeds.

Hey, that might’ve gotten me to eat my peas when I was kid.

Well we both work full time and things. My daughter loves Cco China buffet though. And she chooses a lot of healthy things off of there.
