Being a mom I have lots of mom guilt. A few things I always question myself about are; Am I feeding my family foods that are healthy for them? Are they getting the vitamins and nutrients they should be? Are they getting too many things in their day to day life they should not be? And the biggest one I stress about is their veggie intake. Seriously! If my kids see green on their plate, they run! So over time I have gotten creative with adding vegetables to their diets. I have slow cooked them until they disappeared, added soups with vegetables to sauces and blended in with smoothies. I have even baked vegetables into muffins before 🙂 I am excited to tell you this task has now gotten easier.
I was recently asked to become an ambassador for Orange Naturals. I accepted and am so glad I did. I have been enjoying their ND Shakes every day. ND Shakes are the first line of nutrient-dense shakes custom made for each member of your family. Each pouch is formulated to meet the daily requirements of each member of the family, teens, children, women and men. I have been mixing with milk and adding to smoothies and shakes. They are available in vanilla and chocolate, chocolate is my fave!
Chocolate Berry smoothie
Add two scoops of ND Shake chocolate powder to 1 cup of milk and half cup of mixed frozen berries. Blend on high for 30 seconds. POur and drink.
The smoothies was thick and tasty! You can really taste the chocolate in the smoothie. I have been trying to have one for breakfast. The ND Shake is not a meal supplement. It is to be added to your daily diet for additional nutrients. Since ND Shakes contain multivitamin blends using the most biologically active forms they support optimal health. I have been adding it to the kids smoothies as well. Added greens without them knowing plus they contain no dairy, soy, gluten, eggs and are nut free.

I think we all worry about whats best for our families, I'm happy to have Orange Naturals there to help make that easier too for sure! I have fallen for the ND Shakes! Part of my mornings now and great for the kids (they like it as a chocolate, banana/berry shake) or in hot chocolate. I have yet to try baking with it but I have seen some yummy recipes online I'd love to try!
Just had a look at their line and that have a HUGE selection.. Nice to know there is another line out there focusing on naturopathic cold and cough remedies for children. When I can't find one I'll know where I can find another.
I'm always worried about what I'm feeding my son. He's so picky and I'm always concerned that he isn't getting the nutrition he needs. Have you tried making pancakes with them yet? I bet the chocolate would be great.
My recent post Project Life: My Newest Obsession
I just recently found out about Orange Naturals and have looked at Well.ca to see what is available. I am always so careful choosing products with my IBD, but think these products would work just fine for me.
Looking forward to hearing more from you.
I have the same worries as you! It is so hard to be a mom sometimes. Well, OK, all the time. These products sound great. I have been checking them out and may just have to invest in a few for our family.

I'll have to look further into this, my youngest avoids eating meat at all cost and therefore he doesn't get all the protein he needs every day. Thanks for sharing these shakes with us 🙂
