Getting More Fiber In Your Kids Diet

According to the Institute of Medicine my little girl at 3-years-old needs about 19 grams of fiber a day and my 5-year-old son needs 25 grams a day – that’s a lot of fiber! It’s so important for me to get this important nutrient into their little bellies yet I have the hardest time getting them to eat the proper amount each day. Sometimes we rock it and other times we fail.

 

When I have a certain nutrient that I’m struggling to make sure my kids are getting enough of, I love being able to turn to a vitamin. I can’t physically force them to take a big bite of barley, but I can certainly convince them to take a delicious tasting vitamin.
The L’il Critters™ Fiber Gummy Bears vitamins have as much fiber as four prunes and more than a full cup of asparagus. Do your kids eat prunes and asparagus? Because mine would never. Ever.

 

Finding a great vitamin is the first battle and the second is getting them to actually take it. As an adult I hate swallowing vitamins so I can’t expect my kids to do it either – especially my three-year-old. If I do find a chewable vitamin, most of the time they are chalky and don’t taste very good. But L’il Critters™ are different because they are gummies! My kids love them and I’ve taste tested them myself. They are actually excited and look forward to taking vitamins!
I adore the fact that these are absolutely sugar free and have no high-fructose corn syrup. I know that if I give them their vitamin at night that I don’t have to worry about an evening dose of sugar. Plus, there are no synthetic dyes: they are made with natural fruit flavors and colors derived from fruits, vegetables and plants.
If you’re looking to try these or any other L’il Critters™ gummy vitamins for kids or vitafusion™ gummy vitamins for adults, you can get them online or at national retailers like Costco, Walmart, Target and Walgreens.

  7. Matthew is such a picky eater. He will eat chicken strips, that’s the only meat I can get him to eat. Very frustrating. But it’s funny you did this blog because those are the vitamins he takes 🙂

  11. I struggle getting my daughter to eat anything from the sea, including fish, crab, lobster, etc or any vegetable besides corn. I try to sneak vegetables into foods she likes, such as spaghetti sauce, but she usually finds them then refuses to eat it.

  14. Drinking enough water/liquids is the biggest struggle. He is not thirsty often so it’s a struggle to get him to drink at times.

  30. I know we don’t always get in our fruits and veggies in the right portions every day. Which means a loss of vitamins and nutrients… I know! This is where have gummy vitamins is helpful.

  39. Veggies are definitely the hardest…..unless you drown them in butter or cheese and that takes away all the good benefits.

  44. I don’t have kids but struggle to get enough vegetables/fruit in my diet daily. Even though I am a vegetarian, I find myself eating WAY too many carbs and pastas when that is not all I like. It is just easy and I am lazy. hahahahaah!
