![My youngest (James) has always been a small eater. He often just picks away at his supper meal, leaving most of it behind, but then devours his breakfast the next morning 🤷♀️ [AD]
I've never really been concerned, and I know that he's getting most of his nutrients by the end of the day or the end of the week😉. We practice the Division of Responsibility in Feeding in our house, so there's no pressure to eat any particular food or amount, but what I've been noticing is that his protein isn’t sufficient every day. He's growing fairly rapidly (he's 5), and I know how important getting enough protein is for growth and development (it's basically the building blocks of his body tissues), so for the first time ever I've decided it’s time for a nutritional protein supplement.
I still serve the same variety as I always do, and I don't cater to him or "sneak" anything into his foods 🙅♀️
I’ve made an effort to add more beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, higher protein dairy foods and now, a high quality protein powder 🥜🥛
I receive many questions from clients and readers about protein powders for kids, and my go-to is always ALWAYS "food first". But if you've noticed that your child's growth has declined or stalled (and if this is coupled with picky eating concerns) a nutritional supplement might be necessary, even if it's temporary. I've partnered with my fave kid's protein powder brand, @healthyheight , for a few important reasons, including the fact that it's both pediatrician-developed, and dietitian-approved 🙋♀️
This tasty protein powder is gluten-free, soy-free, lower in sugar compared to competitors and free from artificial colours and flavours. It's super versatile (we throw it into oatmeal, smoothies and baking), and it gives me some peace of mind knowing that he's meeting his protein requirements (1 scoop contains 12 grams of protein!). I've added a link to my bio where you can purchase, and am also happy to offer you a 15% discount on your first order with the coupon code SARAH15! 🥳
