Wordless Wednesday: Garden of Life’s Ocean Kids DHA Chewables

By Leave a Comment

etc

If there’s one thing I will always remember about my Grandpa, it’s that he took cod liver oil religiously. Back then, of course, omegas and DHA weren’t in the vernacular — but he knew it was good for him. I’ll never forget the way they smelled: awful. Thankfully, times have changed and liquigels have managed to evolve into less stinky versions of their former selves. We’ve been giving our kids DHA since they were in utero; I always took a prenatal vitamin with added DHA, and we made a point of introducing the kids to fish early on. But since we don’t eat it enough, I also let them pop daily gummies. The problem is that those gummies are laden with sugar. So I was thrilled to learn about Ocean Kids DHA Chewables from Garden of Life, which contain 250 mg of omega-3 fatty acids and 120 mg of DHA per daily serving. There are no fillers, no artificial ingredients, no artificial flavours and no preservatives. HALLELUJAH! While The K Man suffers through his serving a little, Miss Q is all over them and we usually find her begging for more. The best part? No sugar, except for those naturally occurring in the berry and lime juice that sweetens the Ocean Kids DHA Chewables ever so slightly.  

 

DISLAIMER: This post is considered an entry into a Garden of Life influencer contest; however, I strongly believe in this brand and would have featured it anyway!

  3. While I *love* the idea of no added sugar, I think it would be a tougher “sell” for my kids. I’ll have to give them a try and see for myself. 🙂

  5. Wow! No sugar! That’s awesome! I remember taking cod liver oil caps as a kid. I also remember them tasting awful! It’s great that there are fish oils for kids that don’t taste horrible! 🙂

    • I can’t believe you could stomach the “old skool” ones as a KID! I love the quality of Garden of Life products and am thrilled they’re branching out into kids’ products, too.
