It’s that time again: the carefree days of summer have departed, and schedules, drop-offs, activities, pick-ups and homework have returned. It can be a stressful and busy season for the whole family, and eating healthy, nutritious foods is important to keep kids (and parents!) ready for whatever each day has in store.
One of the best ways to boost healthy eating is to include more fruit and vegetables in all your family’s meals and snacks, and “eating the rainbow” by choosing a variety of colourful options. Loaded with phytonutrients, fruits and vegetables can also contribute to the protein your body needs, making them nutritional MVPs in your daily diet.
Canada’s Food Guide recommends children ages two to 18 consume four to eight servings a day of fruit and vegetables (depending on age and gender). Unfortunately, as many parents know, getting notoriously finicky kids to eat even one serving—let alone four to eight!—can be difficult. And when life is hectic, parents sometimes have to choose between “healthy” and “convenient.”
Not anymore.

Here are five must-try Evive faves:
Boasting 18g of protein per smoothie wheel, this purple powerhouse is loaded with blueberries, banana and haskap, an antioxidant-rich, body- and brain-boosting “superberry” that tastes a bit like the love child of a blueberry and a raspberry.
Is it a soup? A sauce? It’s both! Serve it in a bowl or poured over pasta for a warm, comforting dinner. With ingredients such as butternut squash, carrots, cashews and nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavour), it’s also an excellent source of vitamins A and B12.
What kid wouldn’t want to dive into this tropical-tasting candy-coloured smoothie? Its stunning hue comes from immune-boosting blue spirulina, which is paired with ingredients such as banana, pineapple, coconut cream, cauliflower and mineral-rich baobab.
Hearty and healthy with a kick of jalapeño heat, this plant-based chili’s black beans, quinoa, corn and carrot deliver 8g of protein per wheel. Serve it on its own or on top of rice (or more quinoa!) for a perfect after-school meal.
A hot-pink vitamin-C dynamo, this sweet smoothie tastes even better than it looks. Strawberries, banana and dragonfruit combine with chia and hemp seeds for an immune-boosting antioxidant-rich breakfast or snack.
