Makai Poke Co. {521 Washington Street}

Makai Poke Co. doesn’t have a dedicated “kids menu”, but they do offer Snack Size poke bowls which are great for the little ones. These have 1 scoop of protein {ahi tuna, salmon, shrimp, kani crab, chicken or tofu} instead of the 2 or 3 scoops included in the larger sizes, and it’s only $7.99.

Quality Greens {227 Washington  Street}

In addition to salads and warm dishes, Quality Greens offers a nice treat to share with the kiddies — soft serve fruit. This smooth, frozen delight is made from 100% fruit, water, and a touch of organic cane sugar making it the perfect {healthy} alternative to ice cream. You can even add up to 3 toppings like granola, chocolate chips or strawberries for $1.

Purely Juiced {262A First Street}

This local juice shop has a great variety for all health needs. In addition to salads and entrees, Purely Juiced also offer items like juice cleanses, smoothies and elixirs. This is your one stop shop for eating and feeling good. For the kids, you can order a Walnut Butter & Chia Seed Jam sandwich — they’ll love it as it mocks a traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They also have oatmeal and yogurt, which tends to be a kid approved meal.

Shaka Bowl {720 Monroe St e103}

The food at Shaka Bowl is healthy and fresh — and of course delicious! They don’t offer a kids menu but the breakfast bowls (acai, pitaya) are small enough and kids love the taste and pretty colors. They also will split up the large smoothie size (24oz) into two small cups for you and your little one to share. Only $8 and you both can enjoy a healthy treat.

Where to be Active:

The Inner Athlete {720 Monroe Street #C409}

The Inner Athlete is a great place for kids to become introduced to different sports, run around, and be involved in a healthy activity with other children. Your toddler might not know if they have a favorite sport quite yet, so The Inner Athlete allows them to discover all sports through classes, drop offs, and even outdoor summer camps.

Urban Jungle {1140 Maxwell Lane}

If you’re not into a classroom setting on your healthy day out — no problem. Urban Jungle offers great “open play” from 9:00AM-6:00pm, 7 days a week. Rain or cold shouldn’t stop your little one from being active, and Urban Jungle has the space to help with plenty of room, toys, and even an outdoor jungle gym right inside. ​

​Super Soccer Stars

Head to a Grocery Store

Kings, ShopRite, Acme, Trader Joes, — take your pick.

We have a bunch of food shopping options in town, so why not use them to add a little bit of education to your day? Stores like Shoprite {900 Madison Street} are already on board with teaching nutrition to children, offering a free healthy snack everyday for the kiddos as you shop around. Use this time to review the healthy foods you are buying, why greens are important, and maybe even let your little one pick out a fun fruit or vegetable to try at home {from experience — kids LOVE this}.
