Parenting Hack: 3 Ways My Kids Get Their Fiber In, All Before 10AM

I’m a mom to four young children, and they’re just like any other kids: they love getting their fill of butter noodles, chicken nuggets, and pizza 🍕. Can you relate? One of the biggest battles at mealtime is ensuring my kids get the fiber they need!

My husband and I love probiotics, so when we discovered that Seed had a daily pediatric synbiotic (probiotic + fiber-based prebiotic) for kids and teens (ages 3-17), we were over the moon. 🌙 With the addition of Seed into their routine, I’m confident that their meals are nourishing them–and they can’t even tell!

Here are all the different ways I’m feeding my kids Seed’s PDS-08® (and making sure their nutritional needs are easily met!):

#1: Pouring it into a smoothie 🥤

Yes, smoothies are good for you on their own–but breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not supercharge your morning by getting as many health benefits in as possible? Seed’s PDS-08® Pediatric Daily Synbiotic costs $49.99/month and comes in pre-portioned sachets for easy serving–just pour the powder into your smoothie after blending, and mix. The powder is completely flavorless, so my kids will only taste the delicious fruit blend.

Honestly, how this little sachet can be packed with SO many benefits is beyond me. It’s free of 14 common allergens (read: gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, and more), all while offering 5g of prebiotic fiber per serving to support easy bowel movements.

Not only does the good bacteria in the gut encourage healthy poops, but PDS-08® promotes healthy regularity too. Now, my kids’ bowel movements are frequent without being too frequent, which is a key indicator that they’re getting the fiber they need.

#2: Layering it into a parfait 🍓

One of kids’ favorite breakfasts is a parfait. And when they want to load it up with all chocolate pieces and only a little bit of fruit, I know that I can rely on Seed to bridge the fiber gap they’re missing from the fruit alone!

For context, my kids would have to eat 38 cherries, 1.7 bananas, or 1.5 cups of strawberries to match the fiber quantity of Seed’s PDS-08® synbiotic. 

But Seed’s benefits go beyond gut health. Unlike the yogurt, Seed doesn’t need to be refrigerated. The sachet packaging makes Seed perfect for travel, and given that my kids’ immune systems can become compromised due to environmental stressors such as flying/traveling when we fly, it helps their bodies course-correct. I've noticed PDS-08® helps them maintain a strong immune system and keeps them breathing comfortably during seasonal changes.

#3: Mixing it into fresh-squeezed OJ 🍊

This might be the easiest hack yet. My kids like stirring it into their OJ on their own, but parents can shake it up in a bottle to achieve the same nutritious, fiber-y goodness. Supporting their gut health, clear skin, and respiratory tract function is as easy as swirling Seed’s synbiotic into a drink!

One of my favorite parts of Seed is it is formulated to avoid side effects commonly associated with prebiotics/dietary fiber such as GI distress. This is huge, because many fiber-rich foods like bread, garlic, sweet potatoes, and brown rice cause me and my kids discomfort. Seed is the only easy & convenient solution I’ve found for this!

Our Family’s Thoughts

Most kids don’t get enough fiber to promote a healthy digestive system, and Seed helps us avoid the discomfort of certain foods. My kids have been happy campers since they started their Seed routine–we've said goodbye to occasional GI distress/discomforts such as gas and bloating and hello to good poops and strong immune systems!!
