Berry and Chia Seeds Health Benefits

Chia seeds are the perfect ingredient to add to smoothies and popsicles because they are high in fibre, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and calcium. 

Flaxseeds are just as nutrient-rich and can be used instead.

Either or, whichever one you decide to use, is an excellent choice. They both promote heart and brain health, manage blood sugar levels, and aid in digestion. 

These nutrients help our children develop strong bones, a strong immune system, to fight off free radicals, help with focus and concentration, brain development, and much more. 

Berries on the other hand are high in nutrients as well. They protect against cancer, promote youthfulness, fight inflammation, and promote regular digestion. Tons of antioxidants and vitamins for a strong immune system.

They are naturally sweet, so they help mask the taste of vegetables, like spinach, and other superfood ingredients you’d like to add that your kids won’t notice.

Smoothie Popsicles Made With a Blender

This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and high in fibre and antioxidants. All you need is a blender and it takes little to no time at all to prepare. Once the popsicles are places in the freezer, they are ready to eat any time!

You don’t need a fancy blender either. I used a classic beehive blender and it’s literally only $60 bucks on Amazon!

The best part about these popsicles is that their flavour is sweet enough to give to the kids on a hot summer day while providing lots of energy, instead of a sugar high.

No Sugar Added

When I was preparing to make these popsicles I wanted to make sure they were sweet for the kids so they would like them and actually eat them. That’s where the medjool dates and maple syrup come in.

I’m talking about pure Canadian organic maple syrup. 

Naturally sweet goodness and no added sugar. Plus, extra fibre from the dates!

These sweeteners are optional, as the berries provide much sweetness on their own.

I hope you enjoy these nutritious popsicles that will keep you on the right track this summer. The fun part is, you can literally make them with any smoothie recipe you want.

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?

Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister at track meet and G is officially out of her infant car seat and in her big girl @clekinc like the little boss baby that she is 😂 Tell me, how long do you keep your LO’s in rear facing position? Do you wait as long as possible or switch to forward facing around the 12 month mark?
