\n\nAfter months of quarantine at home with my kids, I\u2019m pretty much out of ideas for cooking healthy meals and preparing healthy snacks. And when our days all look the same, it\u2019s hard to find new special ways to motivate them to eat their veggies more than ever, am I right? \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>I\u2019m sure we all feel the same now- we\u2019re tired. We\u2019re taking care of our children during quarantine and we\u2019re making sure they eat right and are stimulated and educated\u2026 it\u2019s exhausting.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But just when I was ready to throw the towel and abandon the idea of feeding my kids anything other than carbs, I remembered Evive<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s smoothies \u2013 absolutely delicious and full of nutrition in every cube! I think they\u2019re absolutely amazing for breakfast as a simple smoothie bowl! Or for a midday snack in the form of a smoothie – and they are the only smoothies that are ready to use, without a blender needed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered them last year as a mom-on-the-go breakfast idea. They\u2019re unique on the market as they come in a form of cubes that are ready to be popped in a mason jar, covered with milk or water and ready to be enjoyed in no time (they will melt on their own within 10-15 min). But if you want to have them ready within seconds, you can also use a blender – I think they\u2019re delicious either way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My kids\u2019 current obsession is Touk-Touk (a sunny blend of tropical fruits, veggies and plant-based protein) which is also the flavour of a wonderful project in collaboration with Breakfast Club of Canada<\/a>. During the month of June, they will be donating 50\u00a2 for each Touk-Touk sold towards this amazing cause!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, if you enjoy cooking, you can use Evive<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s smoothies as the base for frozen treats, Pinterest-worthy smoothie bowls, or even baked delights! But since I\u2019m a mom currently in quarantine mode without schools or daycare, I simply make the most delicious smoothies for my kids that they actually fully drink! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of fun ideas that I tried with the Touk-Touk smoothie<\/a><\/strong> for my kids and that are not complicated: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
