Healthy Nature

Kids waking up on Christmas morning to a stocking full of goodies is one of the most fun and exciting parts of the morning. The stocking is where all of the candies, chocolates, sweet goodies, and little toys hide! 

While there is plenty of room for treats and sweets for the kiddos in the stocking, sometimes the addition of a few healthier options is a great way to balance out all that sugar from the not-so-nutritious options. 

In this post, we have put together a list of the top 7 healthy stocking stuffers for kids that they are still going to love, but you will also find peace knowing they have some healthier options to snack on during the holiday season. 

These organic strawberry rice bites are a healthy treat, but still packed with sweet fruity flavor. They are lower in sugar, non-GMO, have no artificial ingredients, and are gluten-free. Kids love the light and airy texture of the wafer and they make for a filling snack. 

Kids love fruity and chewy candies, but the conventional brand is filled with a lot of artificial colors, flavors, and nasty ingredients. To give them a healthier option, stick these organic and non-GMO fruit chews in their stocking. They taste even better than the popular brand, but they are naturally dyed, have no fake flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. 

Jellybeans are another kid candy favorite, but these jellybeans are non-GMO and organic, completely natural, and have nothing weird or artificial. These little bags are perfect for popping in their stockings and something they are sure to enjoy snacking on. 

If you are really looking to include and healthy and wholesome treat in your kid’s stocking, then look no further than these healthy and simple chocolate coconut chips. These are gluten-free and contains lots of fiber to keep their bellies full. There are nothing artificial in these coconut chips and they are non-GMO as well. 

If you have a hard time getting your children to drink water and stay hydrated during the day and they tend to reach for juice and soda, try adding these drink mix sticks to their stocking! These individual packs are easy added to a glass or bottle of water and make hydrating much more fun. The mix contains lots of multivitamins and minerals and support immune health. One packet only contains 20 calories and 4 g of sugar. 

Sometimes getting your children to eat all of their vitamins and minerals is nearly impossible. Including some chocolate vitamin bears in their stocking is not only a great way to get them to take their vitamins, but you can also use it as an opportunity to teach them about the importance of taking their vitamins. 

Last but not least, include a fun water bottle of their very own in their stocking. This can get them excited to use their flavored water drink mixes and encourage them to drink water during the day. This is particularly important on Christmas day when they will be loaded up with sugar and treats!
