Up until fairly recently we have been a pretty much sugar free household. If I do use sugar I use palm sugar, maple syrup, rice malt or small amounts of honey. All sweet snacks have been out of the question for my 2.5 yrs old as I just don't believe that children need sugar in their diet and there is masses of research out there to say why.
BUT as he has turned 2.5 yrs old, I realise that life is all about balance and if I say no too much to any one thing I think it would only create a craving or a longing in that area.
After playing out in the woods on a cold, winter, sunny day, we came home and had my ideal snack which I thought I would share:
A Hot Chock -made with raw milk, raw cacao and raw honey - lightly heated
Some goji berries
A 'Dada' biscuite - a digestive which is my husbands favourite and anything that he loves our son also loves!
I say my ideal because I love anything raw - it is still full of goodness. The digestive is the balance and the goji berries - well we all know how good these are for us.
Yum yum to mind body and soul!
