Re: Creative ways to give nutriiveda

February 12, 2010

thanks Sowmya.Â i'll try both and maybe have a higher chance with the pudding

type.Â

See, that's the thing that i don't get.....he LOVES the fish oil straight up! So

i guess i'll bring

out my bag of tricks to get him to take it by positive reinforcement!Â Haven't

had to do that

in a while so i'm a little rusty, but like a bike I'm sure i'll get the hang of

it again!!!

thanks again

sandy

, awesome receipes!!!

I just changed the topic so that it is eays to find in our archives[hope it is

ok].

Sandy, I mix the nutriiveda in 4-5 tblsp of mango pulp with 1-11/2 cups of water

and use a blender.Just a quick whip.

Sometimes I add homemade yogurt to the above.

I have even tried it with Langers Mango juice.

Mango is the only flavor he likes!!

I remember Robin mentioning that she mixes the 2 scoops in water in a pudding

consistency. After is done taking it she drinks the remaing water.

Since your son likes lots of things you can use it as a reinforcer to push the

nutriiveda!! Start with one scoop so that he develops the taste for it. It sure

is better than fish oil - taste wise!!!

> Sandy just wanted to share that my two boys had a very different initial

reaction to the nutriiveda. While Tanner didn't love it to start as I shared-

kind of tasted to me too like healthy chocolate -maybe too much like dark

chocolate (which is why my husband thought we were nuts and thought it was

delicious) Tanner would drink it but we doctored it up by adding other stuff to

the drink - Tanner LOVES it now, will drink it mixed with just water even - and

asks for it.

>

> Dakota on the other hand it was from the start pulling teeth. He was always

full when you asked him if he would drink it -and said he didn't need it. Even

if friend Josh (the one who has ADHD who went from a problem student to a

straight A student in about 6 weeks) was one day over yelling at Dakota to

" DRINK YOUR NUTRIIVEDA DAKOTA! " Well...two things- one is that while to start

Dakota said his improvement in grades from Bs to As had nothing to do with the

nutriiveda but that he " just decided to focus more on his school work " as time

went on when I asked Dakota if he wanted some nutriiveda instead of saying " not

now " he would say " sure " We also know that Dakota likes the vanilla better than

the chocolate while Tanner won't even drink the vanilla mixed in anything at all

-hates the vanilla. Dakota thinks Tanner is nuts now and is constantly saying to

Tanner " Tanner just try this it's delicious " (haha makes me laugh to think of

that) but Tanner will ONLY

drink the vanilla if we run out of chocolate -but complains and complains.

>

> I will drink either flavor and know some really good drink recipes which I've

shared some of them. Sowmya I know found her son loves the vanilla mixed with

was it mango or papaya juice?? Anyway it's like a fruit smoothie. It's going to

depend upon the child but it's not something you have to take all at once. You

can sprinkle it on food like cereal a bit here and there. It's actually pretty

funny to hear that it's in any case that difficult to get the nutriiveda into

the kids when we've done the fish oils for years...but here's the difference

with an older child Sandy.

>

> Talk to your son. This is what I did with Dakota who was my son that was so

resistant for the first week or so on it. Dakota still wasn't wanting it -but in

his case he KNOWS 2 of the 3 teens who went to straight A students in about a

month and it still didn't really make a difference -but I told him he just has

to try it.

>

> Dakota has been on the nutriiveda now for a few weeks and about 2 days ago

-Dakota and I were talking and I said " honestly Dakota I know you say you are

doing better in school because you want to -but do you notice ANY difference

from the nutriiveda? " And he said " I'm talking more " (psst read my message from

day one on nutriiveda -could have told any of you that!!!)

>

> Just remember -it probably would have been much easier to get junk food into

any of our kids -their systems and ours are warped to what is healthy in most

cases. Once on nutriiveda for a week or so -it's no longer a battle -that's what

I found anyway and even for me (I love it now -honestly think it's the most

delicious chocolate drink ever and used to love the frozen hot chocolate drinks

at Serendipity 2 in NYC) Below are a bunch of whey isolate protein drink recipes

I found online -be creative with what your child loves or is allowed to eat or

drink...this doesn't even include what to do with food -keep in mind again you

can sprinkle it into cereal or mix it into just about anything -have to run but

will look for other things that look fun (I've already shared the pumpkin one

for the vanilla which is awesome -and the reeces peanut butter cup made with the

chocolate and organic peanut butter is a huge standby...oh and also to start may

want to add

some agave if your child needs extra sweetener (and yes some -probably many are

now using NesQuick!)
