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!
Getting More Fiber In Your Kids Diet
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.

    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 🙂
