Healthy snacking.

I’ve learned a lot about the challenging role of being a stay at home mom over the past few months. One thing I had never really considered is how hard it is to actually sit and consume a meal. Most of the time I’m shoving some sort of bar in my mouth as I feed B and walk L out to the bus in the bitter cold.

We have a pretty good breakfast routine going in the house. B wakes up all ‘FEED ME FEED ME FEED MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!’ so he goes first. L couldn’t care less if he eats until noon so after B is full down on the floor he goes to ‘wrestle’ with L so I can eat my breakfast. If L gets bored I then pay him a $1 to carry on. Don’t judge. I am not a nice person before my coffee.

Lunch is the tricky one and that is when I resort to shoving pretty much anything in my mouth that slides out of the cabinet. Lately we’ve had these stocked in the house for M and oh dear Lord are they good. Before I realize it the bag I bought for M quickly became the bag I bought for C. Not good.

I decided to make myself a healthy snack to grab instead. What is healthier than kale? Not much right now according to every source of media. It is the in superfood and it truly does pack a punch.

I wouldn’t say they rival the beer chips but they are simple, delicious, and most importantly healthy. We all know mom can never get sick, right?
