Mother’s Day Gift Guide: The Health Conscious Mom
Is living naturally and healthy something that is especially important to your mom? Check out this Mother’s Day gift guide that I’ve put together with The Health Conscious Mom in mind. I bet you’ll find something that’s perfect for her. And as always, don’t forget to check out the giveaway items below!
I love mom created businesses! Sharelle Klaus, mother of four, was looking for an all-natural, non-alcoholic option to compliment her meal when she created DRY Soda Each 12-ounce bottle of DRY Soda contains just 45-70 calories and 14-19 grams of sugar. DRY would be a great refreshment to include with your Mother’s Day meal – sip on its own or mix into a top-shelf cocktail. With 7 flavors, there is sure to be one to please your mom.
Is Mom into eating Raw? Then Raw Food: A Complete Guide for Every Meal of the Day might be the book for her! Raw food is more than a diet. It’s a lifestyle and a movement. The stories of weight loss, increased energy, healthy-looking skin, and better digestion are seemingly endless. With dozens of recipes accompanied with beautiful, full-color photographs, Raw Food proves that eating raw foods can be simple, inexpensive, and delicious.
A beautiful fresh fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements would be a nice alternative to chocolates and flowers for The Health Conscious Mom. Say Happy Mother’s Day with semi sweet chocolate dipped pineapple hearts and daisies, grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew and strawberries.
With Around the Plate To Go! Text Messaging Program Mom can receive a daily text sent to her cell phone that promotes healthy eating, encourages incorporation of more produce into her diet, and helps keep the health conscious mom on track to meet her better eating goals.
If cereal is a regular part of your mom’s morning, she’s going to LOVE [me] & goji where she can design her own custom cereal. [me] & goji strives to establish a new way of thinking about cereal by focusing on each individual and using the highest quality, all-natural and certified organic products that nourish and inspire.
For a health conscious mom who loves to cook, or one who appreciates a little something special in the kitchen, specialty olive oil from I Heart Olive Oil is a healthy and delicious indulgence that would enhance any recipe. I Heart Olive Oil offers cooking oils, finishing oils, and flavor infused oils.
The Heart-Smart Diabetes Kitchen: Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful Recipes Made with Canola Oil cookbook offers the health conscious mom healthy recipes that are time-saving, budget-friendly and perfect for everyone with or without diabetes. The dishes in this glossy, 222-page color book get their flavor from natural and wholesome ingredients, herbs and spices and offer tastes from around the world. And if that wasn’t enough to entice you, all profits go to the ADA to benefit people with diabetes.
Moms are s
o busy! Even though we care about providing healthy meals for ourselves and family, time often gets in the way. MenuForTheWeek.com is a meal planning service that delivers easy to make, affordable, tasty meal ideas straight to a mom’s inbox every week. MenuForTheWeek.com streamlines the menu planning and grocery shopping process – ensuring that you and your family gets to spend that important time together at the dinner table while enjoying a fully balanced meal!
As a mom, I know only too well how often eating on the go is required. Element Bars offers Mom the opportunity to make her own custom energy bar for on-the-go eating. Each energy bar is hand made, packaged, and then labeled with a custom bar name and nutritional information. Element Bars is committed to using unprocessed or minimally processed elements in each bar to retain the most nutritional value.

Funny story on becoming a FB fan….
Yesterday I posted my menu on my blog. A couple of your salads are on the menu (found you through Tasty Kitchen and your quinoa salad……love it!!). Anyway, looking through your blog more, there is lots that we want to try and put the black bean taco salad with lime vinaigrette on the menu (along with the quinoa salad we love so much). A friend commented on that post stating the menu sounds tasty, especially the taco salads. That's when it hit me. I planned two taco salads this week….LOL! Anyway, today I saw she had fanned you on FB and I commented on it and fanned you as well. Then she told me to head to your blog and check out your giveaway (I hadn't had a chance to look at blogs yet).
All that to say—-I'm a fan on FB and was before I knew about the contest! 🙂
