L'il Critters™ Gummy Vites™ to the Rescue!


If your toddler is anything like mine, then you know how difficult it is to get him or her to eat properly. If you struggle with the same problem, then know that you are not alone!  I am constantly worried about whether my son is getting enough veggies or nutrients...but if I'm being honest, there are a lot of days where mac + cheese comes to the rescue.  Between working full-time, and balancing two kiddos, life can get pretty hectic!  Of course, with Ethan growing and learning so much every day, it goes without saying that a balanced diet is crucial for creating healthy habits and setting him up for success.


One thing Ethan has always loved is gummy treats--but of course, rewarding a child with candy has its own set of problems, which is why I was super happy to discover L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™. They look and taste like his beloved gummy treats, which is great for my 3-year-old, but they deliver essential nutrients--which is great for me!  And less mommy guilt and stress is always a good thing too.

  
L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™ are gluten-free, and are made with natural fruit flavors and colors derived from fruits, vegetables and plants. This great tasting kid’s gummy vitamin helps support your children’s healthy habits and while satisfying their palettes.
Another fun fact: They meet the recommended daily intake of fruits & vegetables, moderately active girls and boys would need to eat 1.5 cups of fruit and 2-3 cups of vegetables a day*...which is HUGE!  I know sometimes we simply can’t eat all the fruits and vegetables we need to in a single day. So it is great that L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™ can help us meet the recommended daily intake of key vitamins.
They're available at most major retailers like Target, Costco, Walmart, and Walgreens.  More information can be found here.


L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™ have become a fun part of our morning routine.  Ethan is more eager to eat his breakfast and get into his car seat knowing that he gets "rewarded" with his gummies.  Meanwhile, I'm just happy we're ensuring that he is getting the right nutrients.  It's really a win-win overall!
Do you have the same worry as I do?  If so, let me know how you're overcoming the nutrition battle in the comments below for a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card.

  50. A daily vitamin plus making sure my daily diet includes a fruit a veggie and a protein is a simple rule to live by that brings some piece of mind. Obviously more fruits and veg is better, but knowing at least one a day EVERY day is good :)

I definitely think vitamins are a good thing to add because they give an added boost no matter how healthy you can get your child to eat!
