Want to make an effort to be more eco-friendly in 2017? Me, too! But where do you start? What is realistic for you and your family? Here are some ideas.
Going green doesn't have to be all or nothing, and it doesn't have to mean completely changing your lifestyle. Every little bit helps, and we want to help you get started with 6 resolutions you can make in 2017 that will make an impact.
What are your New Years Resolutions?
Little Green Pouch Takes The 10 Day Real Food Pledge - Join Us
Alright. It’s 2014, and that means resolutions. One of the most popular resolutions is to eat healthy. If you are trying to make the switch to a Real Food lifestyle, or just want to reboot and get back on track after the holidays, join us as we take the 100 Days of Real Food’s 10-Day Real Food Pledge. Don't worry, we aren't starting until Monday, so you have time to prepare and come to grips with the challenge. Plus, we will be right there with you every step of the way because we are taking the pledge, too!
By doing so, you’ll start of your 2014 with a commitment to Real Food, and real health. 100 Days of Real Food predicts that, upon completing your 10 days, you’ll notice improved health, “such as having more energy, losing weight, improving regularity, or just feeling healthier overall.” After the 10 days are over, you can continue with your life however you’d like, but with knowledge as to how and why you should avoid processed foods.
We hope you do this with us! Don’t forget to sign up for the 10-Day Pledge with 100 Days of Real Food, and review the Real Food Rules while you’re there. Also, be sure to "Like Us" on Facebook where we will be checking in with you on how your 10 days are shaping up along with giving away a 4-packs of Little Green Pouches and an accessory of your choice each day when you engage in our daily Real Food Pledge posts.
Plus, each day you participate, you will earn an entry into our grand prize drawing—a $200 grocery gift card and Large Starter Kit so you can continue to enjoy the Real Foods we are sure you and your family will crave after the 10-Day Pledge. That means you can earn up to 10 entries into the grand prize drawing if you join in the conversation each day. Note: Winners for the daily and grand prize will be chosen at random, and are available for residents of the U.S. and Canada who are 18 years or older).
So, here's the next steps:
- Head over to 100 Days of Real Food and take the pledge
- Start planning your meals for the week of January 6th. Here is our Meal Planner you can use as a template and Maggie's meal plan for Week 1. Feel free to copy her meal plan if you'd like (imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?).
- For recipe inspiration, visit our library of Real Food Recipes, our Recipes We Love board on Pinterest, or the 100 Days of Real Food Recipe Index.
- Tell us how you are feeling. We'd love to hear from you in the comments below, on Facebook, in our inbox (maggieandmelissa@littlegreenpouch.com), on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, or carrier pigeon. Let us know you are taking the plunge, we mean pledge, with us. Let's do this!
- Check back on January 6th for more updates and inspiration.
Here's to a healthy 2014!

Holiday Inspired Real Food Recipes
Happy Holidays! We just can’t wait to celebrate this festive season with our little ones, and we bet you can’t either. And what better way to do so than with some Holiday Pouch Recipes?
We have a fantastic new recipe that is certain to be a party pleaser for kids and adults. Charlotte March’s Pear and Cranberry Puree will knock the stockings off your wee one, and, when topped with a little bubbly, makes for a great treat for mom, dad, grandma, maybe even Saint Nick (a recipe for more presents?). And the great thing about this puree is not only that it is delicious, but also healthy. Indeed, it’s stamped with our Real Food badge of approval.
A few other Holiday Pouch Recipes you might want to try, which are also Real Food Pouch Recipes, include:
We’d love to hear from you if you have any Holiday Pouch Recipes to share. We know you are such a talented and creative group!
As the year draws to a close we can’t help but get a bit reflective. We started this company a little over a year ago, and it has been such an amazing ride so far. Of course, that is all because of you. We are so thankful for each and every one of you, and the incredible support you have shown us. We couldn’t do it without you. Honest and sincere.
We wish you and your families a wonderful and memory-filled holiday season.
In continued appreciation,
Maggie & Melissa
PS: Don’t forget to mark your calendar for our 10 Day Real Food Pledge, starting January 6th. (It’ll make you feel better about all those Christmas cookies and holiday cheer.)
