Watermelon is perfect to eat all by itself and it can be a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack that can be prepared in minutes. This recipe is so easy your kids can make them too. You can easily cut the melon into cubes or be creative and this could be an activity to keep the kids engaged using favorite cookie cutters to cut out different shapes. The bonus is that they are learning to make healthy snacks for themselves! Since TWH's goal is to teach and encourage eating what loves you back, hearts are a favorite but any shape will do. Lot of fun creating different ones with all the cute cookie cutters available❤️

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
