  1. I can only get one of my kids to eat fish!! Luckily they will eat everything else on this list, they do peanut butter and apples quite often for snack.

    The brain is mostly fat so anything with a lot of essential oils in it is good for kids’ growing brains!

    I love eggs and salmon, not keen on kale and spinach though. I do eat kale once a year but that’s it.
