items My oldest daughter struggled in school and as she was my first and I was so young, I spoke to the doctor about it and naturally, the first thing the doctor said was she had ADHD and needed to be put on medication. They even handed her a coloring book...

I love ginger anyways, this is simple stuff in here that goods for you. They have other flavors, I just enjoy ginger, especially if you have upset stomach. Kids drink too!
Numi Organic Ginger Lemon Decaf Tea, 16 Bags
I like green tea, I LOVE coffee, but I like green tea. I enjoy ones that have variety with ‘added flavor’s - this product line has natural ingredients for flavor, like rose petals for example. Just things that wouldn't harm you with chemicals
Rishi Organic Matcha Green Tea Sachets, 30 Count
I know ppl love soda but it's so bad! So much sugar and these don't! The flavors are actually good, you just need to try a few. Ingredients are good and actually have things that were recommended from a holistic doctor to help with eczema flares. Try...
OLIPOP
We love this coffee because it's FRESH roasted. It doesn't have an expired date, it has a fresh roasted date so you know it's fresh. It gives good energy, it's clean coffee. Can get pricey but we drink coffee like crazy and we want something affordab...
Olde Brooklyn Coffee
I don't ever do powders but I really like the ingredients here and this tastes way better than it should 😋 safe for family
Truvani
This doesn't clump, has 1 ingredient, and is nice to add to anything. I like Truvani overall because they have so many ways to get protein or healthy bars and they are careful with ingredients!
Truvani Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides 28 Serv
Snacks
I love gummies for a fruit snack but I don't like the sugar and all the syrups and artificial stuff they add - these are clean and actually enjoyed by the kids. No added sugar
Amara Organic Sweet Strawberry Fruit Bites 6PK
I wanted to do a popsicle for hot days and also do something to give my daughter fruit, this was it. Certain flavors need a little getting used to, in my opinion, but my daughter didn't hesitate. They were easy to push up and eat vs others!
Sweet Nothings Strawberry Organic Kids Pops
I love how this is just fruit and that's what it should be for applesauce. We use apples a lot in the house because they were high on quercetin, which was recommended for eczema babies because of the anti-inflammatory benefit (and others), this was an easy buy
365 Organic Unsweetened Apple Sauce Cups, 4oz, 6pk
We love chips but don't want all the stuff they add in them! Since our house loves salt and vinegar, we buy these! big hit and limited ingredients
Siete Potato Chips Sea Salt Vinegar 5.5 OZ
I LOVE popcorn but don't want all the flavors and added ingredients in it, plus oils and fats. I get the Himilayan salt because it doesn't have sugar, it's organic, has salt but a 'healthy salt', containers fiber, low calaroie and tastes good! Just ...

My son would eat Takis if I let him but because he can't, we use these which have non of the artificial stuff like Takis. He enjoys!
Zack's Mighty Chile Lime Rolled Tortilla Chips, 7 oz Film Bag, No Artificial Colors ...
I love eating bars but most of them have so much sugar and added ingredients and I feel it does nothing for you. It will list protein or fiber or grains but at what cost? So these are ones I grab because I can feed anyone with them, the kids, my mom or us. They taste good too, this is the variety!
Truvani Plant Based Snack Bars 12 Pack
I loved slim Jims and beef jerky but you don't want to know what gets added. I also want to take in some type of protein on the go without cooking a whole meal at times. These are perfect, taste good and no sugar!
Chomps Grass-Fed Original Beef Jerky 10-Pack
Pantry items
My husband is Italian so he claims he can tell the difference :) but you cannot. The texture varies a little from regular pasta but no one else notices or comments in the house. Easy way to get protein and get a little healthier
Chickapea Organic Chickpea Pasta Spirals 8oz x6
I'm not sure why regular ketchup has so much sugar added! It's not needed. You can do away and it still tastes good.
Primal Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Ketchup 18.5oz
We use on everything and feel better knowing there's more health benefits than salt
Fine Ground Celtic Sea Salt – 16oz Resealable
I was eating oatmeal everyday but then saw something about it not being beneficial. I read a little bit further and found that they make sprouted oatmeal which actually allows the oatmeal to germinate before being processed which breaks down the star...
Hot Cereal Rolled Oat USA (24oz)
We try our best to find things that have limited ingredients, but also that tastes good. We use 100% maple syrup on these and the kids love them
Simple Mills Almond Flour Pancake & Waffle Mix
I like Ezekial food items anyways but I liked this cereal because I try to find things low in sugar for mornings because that's how myself (and kids) get longer lasting energy. Most cereals are ALL sugar and artificial ingredients and there's no way kids don't have a sugar crash at school. This isn't their favorite but I'll force if I can or add banana
Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Cereal
Another ketchup that I love, is this ketchup because it's limited sugar, made with veggies and it tastes good. Of course, you may get a comment or two about it but I've hosted before and only had this ketchup and everyone was amazed :)
True Made Foods No Sugar Added Veggie Ketchup, 17 oz
If you ever glance at the back of Maple Syrup, it's loaded with oil, artificial ingredients, corn syrup and much more. I never realized until I started researching foods more. This is a simple swap item, it tastes amazing, you're getting 100% maple s...
NOW Foods Organic Maple Syrup Grade A Dark 16oz
Mayo with avocado oil, they use organic ingredients too but it's not organic, only a few ingredients. My husband makes his own, he just uses oil, eggs, salt and a seasoning. He cuts up pickles to put in it for the vinegar flavor but when he doesn't d...
Primal Kitchen Original Mayo, Made with Avocado Oil, 12 oz
Chocolate/candy
I LOVE peanut butter cups, especially frozen but I don't like all the added stuff. These taste good and don't contain all the negative stuff. They're a little pricey compared to just getting regular Reeses but I try and limit sugar so these go a long way. Try frozen for a little crunch
Justin's Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups 4.7 oz
These are amazing and they have so many different products to chose from. Sams does a bulk buy, even for Halloween candy but I just do this for snacking with the kids.
UNREAL Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels, 3.5 OZ
I LOVE chocolate but that's it, I don't want all the extras. This is the healthier side of you can say that, I don't need a lot to get a good taste, it's a bit powdery once broken but that's ok
Hu Kitchen, Bar Chocolate Simple, 2.1 Ounce
It's hard to find candy in a nice budget, that has ingredients that can be good for you and your family. While I added, these have good ingredients but easily out of budget. If anything, I buy to have my occasional candy without guilt :) and I don't share
Alter Eco Dark Chocolate Truffles 60 Ct
These aren't packaged but if you're having a party and want to put them out, they have limited ingredients and are allergy friendly as a bonus! They aren't as flavorful as regular gummies according to my son but they're fine for me and the toddler :)
Surf Sweets Organic Fruity Bears, 2.75 Oz
These aren't allergy friendly; they also have some sunflower oil which I'm not always fond of but it's on the end of the ingredient list and it has pretty clean ingredients for gummies. These aren't packaged so it's moreso a snack if you're having people over or a snack for yourself of course! The flavor is good, not too sweet for me which kids might notice if they're picky but mine adapted
Black Forest Organic Gummy Bears, 8 Ounce
These actually taste good, it comes with a lot, they're organic, allergy friendly, contain no artificial. They're usually a hit, especially Halloween or an event. It's a big bag of course! They do smaller versions as well
Torie & Howard Organic Hard Candy, 5 lb
Bread
This is a quick swap for white bread, they have tons of other varieties as well. No bread is perfect but this is organic, has whole grains and fiber. They don't use high fructose corn syrup and will use wheat flour. They have gluten-free options as w...
Dave's Killer Bread White Bread Done Right Organic Bread Loaf, 24 oz, Shelf-Stable (24 ounce)
Ezekiel is sometimes hard to shop for, it can be at Walmart, it's usually at Target and Publix, sometimes Amazon but this bread is a great option! It's 100% sprouted organic grains vs flour, no preservatives (so refrigerate or freeze for longer lasting - we refrigerate for weeks), no artificial ingredients and it's inspired by the Bible verse from Ezekiel, hence the name. They follow the verse for recipe :) which is amazing to me!
Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Frozen Sprouted Grain Bread - 24oz
These are good too, however, the kids did tend to notice so you have to top with other things. We do egg and cheese, PBJ on it or just jelly, but to me, I'm fine eating whatever because it's not that big of deal to me and I like with just butter :)
Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Frozen Sprouted Whole Grain English Muffins - 16oz/6ct
Sometimes due to availability, I'll do this. It's organic, it's softer to resemble regular bread, limited ingredients, low sugar and kids love. It's sprouted grains as well, which I am now a fan of since I learned more about ‘sprouted’
Silver Hills Bakery Organic Soft Wheat Sprouted Wheat Bread - 24oz
These are another muffin favorite, probably over regular because the cinnamon adds more flavor. It's not cinnamon heavy but still has the flavor profile!
Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 English Muffins Cinnamon Raisin - 6 CT
Peanut Butter Jelly
I'm always trying to find ways to give my kids good foods that they'll actually eat, this was such a win. It's simple ingredients with no added sugars, I love it and it's an easy way to make peanut butter and jelly and the kids don't ever seem to que...
Smash Foods, Grape Jam, No Sugar Added, Low-Calorie, Vegan (1 Jar)
This is an easy swap for peanut butter. It only has a couple ingredients, doesn't require stirring, they have a no sugar added option and I use this for peanut butter and jelly. It has natural protein and is nut free so it's allergy friendly
SunButter Original Sunflower Seed Butter 16 oz Jar
This is another possible peanut butter option, if you like crunchy. You do have to stir it and it's a little tough to stir but the ingredients is mainly nuts, so it makes sense. It's gluten free and no added sugar. Easy to add in peanut butter and je...
