Menu Monday-Encouraging Healthy Snacks

Hello and Welcome to the first Menu Monday of November!

Before I share my Menu I want share a few changes I've made in the house to encourage the Cowboy to eat eat his healthy snacks.

Last week I talked about putting snacks 'In Sight' and easily accessible for him.

Here's what I've done to encourage him to drink more Juices, Tea and Hot Chocolate.  All he wants is Club Soda.

I set out his favorite mug next to the selection of Teas.  I actually need to go and buy more Tea.  I set the Juices in a bowl.  I can add ice to the bowl in the morning and by the time he is ready to drink it will still be cold.  No need to go looking into the fridge and get distracted or confused. ❤️

This morning he did drink a half glass of Orange 🍊 Juice. I poured it and put on his tray.   I didn't ask if he wanted it.

I have found that most of the time if it is served he will eat it. 

I rarely offer anymore.  I learned that lesson when my mother was ill.

It is simple to encourage healthier eating if you think about ways that your loved one will be motivated. 

It doesn't matter if they are 2 or 62 taking the time to make adjustments and changes can motivate and encourage without making demands.

I hope these ideas and suggestions might be helpful to you.
