No matter how old your kids are, getting them to eat healthier can feel like a constant battle. As parents, we know how important it is to teach our children to develop healthy eating habits from a young age. It impacts their growth, energy levels, and habits into adulthood.
The key is to find healthy snacks and meals your kids actually enjoy. At Jugo, our goal is to make healthy living much more fun. With delicious, nutritious, and customizable options, our acai bowls, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices appeal to both kids and parents.
As a family-friendly destination, we believe it’s our job to make yours easier. So, here are some tips on how to get your kids to eat healthier.
Whether you’ve got a toddler on your hands or a young tween, involving your kids in the meal selection or snack-making process is a great way to make healthy eating fun and interactive. From picking their ingredients to assembling their meal, the engagement teaches them independence and rewards them for choosing to eat well.
At Jugo, kids can create their own açaí bowl, choosing from fun base options like mango, pitaya, and blue magic spirulina while adding their favorite fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or bananas.
Allowing them to make decisions will motivate them to eat healthier . Trust us, that heaping serving of acai will be gone in no time!
You’d be surprised how much kids pick up from their parents. They are observant and smart – so showing your kids that healthy eating is enjoyable by eating better yourself will make a big difference.
Order a cold-pressed juice or detox tea for yourself while your kids enjoy a smoothie or açaí bowl. When they see you enjoying nutrient-dense options, they’re more likely to follow your lead. Our detox teas also make it easy for parents to incorporate a refreshing and healthy drink into their day.
A positive relationship with food starts at home. Extensive research shows that eating foods we cognitively label as “junk food” or “bad” is associated with profound feelings of shame and guilt.
Therefore, be careful about labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” and highlight the experience around consuming certain foods. For instance, a tropical smoothie on a hot day will make you feel refreshed.
By setting a positive example about healthy habits and talking about food, your kids will be more inclined to follow your lead and eat healthier themselves!
If you have younger kids, using smoothies and juices to sneak in greens or superfoods without them noticing is a great way to expose them to healthier foods. The natural sweetness from fruits like banana, strawberry, and mango masks the taste of these hidden superfoods, making it a delicious treat that even picky eaters will enjoy.
At Jugo, our smoothies are perfect for this, offering a range of fresh, nutrient-packed options that can be customized to your child’s taste. Parents love knowing they’re giving their kids something healthy, while toddlers love the flavors and vibrant colors. It’s a win-win for busy families looking to make healthy eating easy and enjoyable!
With tweens or teenagers, it’s all about appealing to their interests. Maybe you’ve got a hungry athlete on your hands or an aspiring photographer. Take advantage of how healthy foods can appeal to their current obsessions!
We see so many young middle school and high school kids come into Jugo just to snap a photo of our aesthetic bowls and smoothies. With Instagrammable vibrant colors and artistic presentations, our healthy snacks are also a treat to the eyes. Let them snap a picture of their colorful açaí bowl or smoothie before they dig in—it’ll make eating healthy more fun!
If your kids are athletes, our customizable smoothie options with added protein are perfect for young adults who are learning about working out, fueling their bodies, and need something more nourishing to get them through their next game.
Stocking healthy snacks at home keeps your young ones from constantly reaching for sugary, processed foods. By stocking your kitchen with fresh fruits, whole grains, and nutrient-packed snacks like Jugo’s take-home açaí kits or smoothies, you encourage them to make better choices naturally.
Jugo’s cold-pressed juices, packed with natural sweetness from fruits, are great alternatives to sugary sodas or juice boxes. Our take-home açaí bowl kits can also replace ice cream or dessert snacks, offering natural sweetness with superfood benefits.
When healthy eating is more than an occasional choice, you can instill healthy habits in your kids. Make visiting Jugo part of your family’s weekly routine – whether it’s after-school snacks, weekend treats, or post-sports game fuel. Over time, this positive reinforcement builds a lasting desire to choose healthier snacks on their own.
Teaching kids to eat healthier is all about making nutritious options fun, visually appealing, and a consistent part of their routine. At Jugo, we make it easy with our wide selection of customizable açaí bowls, smoothies, and cold-pressed juices that are not only packed with nutrients but also taste delicious.
