Sneaky Health Tip:

Sweet potatoes are often called the anti-diabetic food because they stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the crash and burn that many parents observe in their kids (and themselves) after certain meals and snacks. They are rich in vitamins C, E & B, folate (good for the heart and brain), carotenes, calcium, potassium, and iron. As an added bonus, they're also a natural comfort food loaded with serotonin to help boost moods, calming children and helping them to sleep better.

Sneaky Health Tip:

Studies have shown that as little as one carrot per day can cut the risk of lung cancer in half, strengthen the heart, and speed the recovery time from illnesses. Carrots boast the richest source of carotenes and antioxidants in the vegetable realm and are full of fiber.

Sneaky Health Tip:

Broccoli and green peas are high in protein, fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, potassium and calcium. Peas are also high in vitamin K to strengthen bones, and one cup has more protein and fiber than a large egg.
