SMARTYPANTS VITAMINS may be the best tasting vitamins ever!

By Vicki Little-Macaroni Kid Aurora Publisher/Editor September 16, 2016
I am about 85% sure that I would prefer to have a picky eater over a non-eater. It is like pulling teeth to get my son to eat anything other than a granola bar (and we all know how well eating too many of those turns out!). Getting him to eat a decent amount of food that will provide some sort of nourishment to his body is the daily goal. But if I really break down how much of a serving he is getting and how many nutrients are in that serving....well it doesn't add up to very much at all. 

So needless to say, multi-vitamins are very important in our house. Neither of my kids usually enjoys the vitamins (most often one will "kind of" like one brand while the other one absolutely does not) so finding one that they won't fight me on taking was important. 

Obviously there is not a vitamin on the market that is as yummy as chocolate (wouldn't that be nice, though?), but I will say that Smarty Pants Vitamins are pretty good. Both of my kids actually AGREE that they like this brand (yay for Costco memberships where I can buy it in bulk!) and my daughter enjoys them enough that I don't have to remind her to take her vitamins. Which means I don't have to remind my son either since she is a little mini-me that automatically brings him his portion when she takes hers. 

My absolute favorite thing about the SmartyPants Vitamins is that the company makes a one-for-one matching nutrient grant for every bottle sold. One grant provides a child in need with life changing vitamin A supplementation for a full year. SmartyPants is reaching high with a goal of 10 million grants by 2018. Of course there are plenty of other things to love about SmartyPants:
  • Omega 3 DHA (gotta keep those brains healthy)
  • Vitamin D for strong bones
  • B12 to help maintain mental focus and good energy. 
  • Certified organic
  • Free of all synthetic colors, GMOs, artificial flavors and preservatives.
Once you have tried your child's vitamins and realize you like the taste, you will also be able to get Women's Complete, Men's Complete and even Pre-natal gummy vitamins. You can find them at Costco....which means you get a big bottle of vitamins for a price that doesn't make you cringe. 

In addition to Costco, you can find SmartyPants Vitamins on their website, Facebook, and Twitter
