Since my kids are learning from home three days a week, I have been on the search for more healthy snacks for them to munch on. Chum Fruit Bites are made from 100% fruit, high in fiber, gluten-free and contain no added sugar.

Chum Fruit Bites come in the following fruity flavors:

• Strawberry
• Mango
• Apple
• Berry
• Peach (not pictured)

We loved them all! If your family likes fruit snacks, they will definitely enjoy Chum Fruit Bites. However, you will feel better knowing that Chum Fruit Bites do not contain added sugar like conventional fruit snacks.

Chum Fruit Bites make a great homeschool snack because they are an easy way for kids to eat a serving of fruit. The little triangles are highly snackable and are not messy or sticky. The individual packs are very convenient for packing in a lunchbox.

It is also notable that Chum Fruit Bites donates 15% of their profits to
Wildaid.org, which helps endangered animal species like those featured on their labels. Love that!

Where To Purchase Chum Fruit Bites

Chum Fruit Bites are available for purchase through their online shop.

A new year means new healthy snacks to share with my readers. Skout Organic sent their Protein Bars in the following flavors:

• Chocolate Cherry
• Peanut Butter
• Coconut
• Salted Chocolate

In addition, they sent us samples of their kids’ bars:

• Raspberry Rush
• Peanut Butter & Jelly
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
• Apple Pie
• Blueberry Blast

The main ingredients of these bars are naturally sweet dates. Did you know that dates contain slow-burning fiber and easily-digested, quickly-absorbed glucose? Dates are also considered a superfood because they are rich in vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, thiamin, and folate. The protein in these bars comes from organic sunflower seeds, organic pumpkin seeds and organic peanuts (only in their peanut butter bars).

This is a picture of my son sampling the Skout Organic Chocolate Cherry Protein Bar. However, I think his favorite flavor was the smaller Raspberry Rush bar, which has a more fruity taste. The kids’ bars are the perfect size and would make a great lunchbox or after school snack. I like that Skout Organic Protein Bars provide energy and protein without any “questionable” ingredients.

Where To Purchase Skout Organic Protein Bars

Skout Organic Protein Bars are available through their online store or at a store near you.

*CLAIMS BASED ON TRADITIONAL HOMEOPATHIC PRACTICE, NOT ACCEPTED MEDICAL EVIDENCE. NOT FDA EVALUATED

I first heard of Boiron homeopathic medicines at a conference that I attended several years ago. Until then, I had never tried any homeopathic products. I started to take Boiron Oscillococcinum whenever I felt some sort of sickness was coming on. This product made me a Boiron believer!

Thanks to Moms Meet, I had a chance to try Boiron Acidil Meltaway Tablets. These tablets are designed to treat occasional heartburn or acid indigestion symptoms. We all know the feeling of an upset stomach after over-indulging, or eating certain “trigger foods” (e.g. spicy, fried, or acidic). I took Acidil after a couple of meals during this holiday season and it provided almost immediate digestive relief. You can also take these tablets before you eat, if you anticipate ill effects. The meltaway tablets are quite convenient for those who do not like swallowing pills. Boiron Acidil is appropriate for use by adults, or children 12 years and older.

Speaking of fried food, my son often requests fried chicken at home. I wanted to try a “reboot” recipe that eliminated the mess and extra fat of deep frying. See the recipe below for oven-baked chicken that has a crunchy exterior thanks to panko, Japanese bread crumbs.

Baked Crispy Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 3/4 tsp Chili Flakes
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 3-4 bone-in Chicken Breast Tenderloins
• 1 Egg – beaten

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, black pepper, olive oil and panko bread crumbs. Set aside.
2. Coat chicken pieces with flour, dip in the beaten egg, and cover with panko bread crumb mixture.
3. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a wire rack that has been placed on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

Where To Purchase Boiron Products

In addition to Acidil, Boiron has a comprehensive line of homeopathic products to relieve digestion problems, including Gasalia and Diaralia.

Boiron homeopathic medicines are available for purchase at RiteAid, Walgreens, Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods Market, VitaminShoppe, and online at amazon.com, iherb.com, and vitacost.com. Visit boironusa.com/store-locator for the full list of locations.
