How I Got My Kids to Eat Lots of Veggies...

Thanks BOU

By Toia Mengesha May 1, 2018

I am on a serious quest to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my family's diet.  Last weekend, I loaded up on a ton of fresh fruits and vegatables from our local farmer's market, Sprout's and Trader Joes. 


Every day since I have been making smoothies and fresh veggie based juices. I offer everything to my skeptical kiddos...  They will taste almost everything, but I have yet to get them to drink a whole veggie juice.  But still, I figure that every taste is sneaking in some nutrients...  Today I decided to tackle a loaded veggie soup.  I prepped my veggies and was ready to cook...

 

...until I  realized I forgot to buy Veggie Broth... BOU to the rescue...  I just popped a few veggie flavored bullion cubes in with boiling water and PRESTO - Veggie Broth in an instant.  The thing I really love is that I can pronounce ALL of the ingredients in BOU.  No MSG, non GMO, and no artificial flavors - that is my kind of bullion.  The soup simmered until we could wait no longer... the smell was divine.  We all dug in.  The kids gave a thumbs up for the first time this week... they loved our well seasoned Veggie Soup with Zuccini Noodles.   


The little cubes with big flavor were an excellent compliment to my quest for a healthy meal that my family would approve.  BOU also has gravy cubes that only need to be mixed with hot water.  With several flavors to choose from, I see lots of yummy healthy meals in our future.  Thanks, BOU!


Check out the BOU website for an awesome variety of recipes.  I want to try the Chicken Ramen next...  Do you want to try BOU soon?  I am so excited about being able to share BOU with you at the National Mom's Nite Out happening next week May 10th.
