Nutrition has a direct effect on IQ, learning, concentration, sleep, and behavior. There are plenty of brain boosting foods for your kids. Blueberries can be used to make a pineapple blueberry smoothie bowl. Nuts and seeds are great as well, so try making walnut and date energy balls. Try putting in the superfood avocado into your next chocolate smoothie. Beets are delicious as snack balls or in a smoothie. Try throwing in dark, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables into a green juice. Lastly, there’s oats, water, and plenty of hydration!

Key Takeaways:

• Blueberries, avocados, beets, oats and nuts and seeds are all rich in brain boosting nutrients such as antioxidants, choline and omega-3 fatty acids.
• A clever recipe – e.g., beet balls with coconut and maple syrup – can make these foods more appealing to children.
• Water is also important for brain activity, and dehydration can cause brain cells and other neurons to shrink.
