One of the hardest challenges of parenting is getting your kids to eat a healthy diet. They would much rather have cookies and ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than fruits and vegetables. Since children are so fond of desserts, CEOMOM decided to spend the rest of 2016 bringing you sweet treats that are healthy and kid-friendly. From cookie pies to homemade Klondike bars, we’ll be sharing recipes that your kids will love to make and eat. Here is one of our favorite, Vegan parfait. There’s no dairy and no processed sugar. For more healthier versions of your favorite desserts, get your copy of the premier issue of CEOMOM magazine.
