Nutrition Can Be Fun For Kids – Join #HuePets Twitter Party Sept 14, 8pm ET
Do you want to discover some fun new ways to get your kids excited about eating healthy food? Would you like to win an Amazon Gift Card? How about both?
Great news… my friends at 5 Minutes For Mom are hosting a Twitter Party on September 14 at 8 pm Eastern about Making Healthy Food Fun For Kids. I'll be joining the chat as a panelist and I'd love for you to join too.
The party is sponsored by a new app for kids called HuePets™ that turns daily healthy eating into a game for young children and their families.
The prizes are awesome… they're giving away $850 worth of prizes in Amazon Gift Cards before, during and after the party. Prizing is open to both the US and Canada (except Quebec.)
HuePets Makes Nutrition Fun For Kids
HuePets™ is a new mobile app for kids that makes nutrition fun and easy to understand. It was created by the nationally-recognized family wellness program HueTrition™. It's available in both the App store and Google Play.
Take a look at this video to see what HuePets is all about…
Kids scan real-life meals into the app and then use those to feed their HuePets™. By feeding their HuePets (and themselves) healthy foods, they unlock prizes and raise their pets from little eggs to HueMasters.
It's simple to get started. As a parent, first create a free account at huepets.com and add the names of your kids. Then download the app to your phone or tablet and login. When your kids want to play with their HuePets, they can switch between profiles.

I will mark my calendar. That sounds like an awesome party with some great prizes.
WOW! That is an incredible idea to get kids to be aware of what they are eating! I am excited to learn more.
Well that is a wonderful idea! It’s stuff like this that makes me wish I thought of it myself. And inventive ways for the kids to learn about nutrition and what they put in their body. This is genius.
Honestly, I think… NUTRITION IS FUN! 😉
This is such a fun way to help teach kids about nutrition. My Son would have loved it when he was little. I wil have to share this with my friends that have little ones.
I will have to download this app for my Daughter this weekend. I am always looking for educational apps for her. Kids always learn more when they are having fun.
That sounds like a fantastic party! I’ll have to check it out. And what a fun idea for an app. It makes me think of GigaPets but with a nutrition twist that I love.
This sounds like it is going to be a very informative party. I love feeding my kids healthy foods.
This looks like it would be lots of fun for kids. I am going to have to download this!
This is absolutely brilliant! I know my son would have gotten a kick out of this. It sure would have helped with his eating habits!
Sounds like a perfect conversation! I will definitely be joining!
I really like the idea of this app for kids. My granddaughter loves feeding things on games so this would definitely be a great app for her to try out. She is always wanting to download new apps on my phone and this one I would definitely be ok with. Thank you for sharing all about it.
How have I never heard of this before?! This is so much fun and I love discovering a new app – especially when it has to do with food and nutrition.
This sounds like such a clever idea! It will be fun to participate in the convo and learn more about the app!
What a fun app for kids. I love anything that makes learning fun and this is great because nutrition is such an important subject for kids to learn
Very cute app. Kids need to know about food nutrition
I like these kinds of apps, kids are actually learning at the same time having fun on it. I will install it on my phone for my kid to play on it.
This sounds like it makes nutrition fun for the kids! I am going to try this for my daughter, she struggles with grasping the concept!
What a great idea to get them excited about fruits and veggies! And it gives them a of ownership over their eating, too! Such a great thing! Sharing!
This is a cute idea for getting kids to learn more about nutrition and health, and learning to eat better. It’s great to have tools to help them make good decisions.
What a cool idea. Making eating healthy fun is a sure way to get the kids to eat healthier.
This is a really neat idea! What a great way to teach kids more about health and nutrition. Making healthy eating fun is a great way to learn to eat better!
I love this! It really is true that Nutrition CAN be fun for kids. It is important to make healthy choices, fun in your family.
I actually lucked out and both of my girls when they were younger would eat any vegetable you put in front of them. For those that aren’t as lucky, this may be just the gimmick to get them to eat their veggies.
This looks like a great app. I love that it teaches kids to examine what they are eating with hopes that it will guide them towards healthier decisions!
Wow! What a great Twitter Party this is going to be!! Looks like everyone is showing up to learn more about HueKids and win great prizes!
This app sounds awesome! Makes me wish we had these cool innovations when we were younger! It’s awesome especially because finicky kids can learn how much fun eating healthy can be! Love it!
Oh, wow, that is really a cool app for kids to learn about eating right. My grandson would love this app, he just started playing with an Ipad.
I think it is important for kids to learn about nutrition at an early age. You want to create healthy habits when they are younger so that they continue those habits as they get older.
I have been so impressed with my kids because they really want to eat healthy food and live healthier lives. I will look into this app and see if my kids will enjoy it.
I love all these apps that help me help my kids. Sometimes, an app can do it better than I can!
Now this is an awesome app idea. I love how it is making nutrition fun, I think making anything fun can bring about a huge difference in how it is seen.
Now this is an awesome app idea. I love how it is making nutrition fun, I think making anything fun can bring about a huge difference in how it is seen.
This is such a cool app idea. Nutrition doesn’t seem that fun to most people so this app is really great.
I remember the first time my son told me that “carrots are good for your eyes” and proceeded to take a big bite. Keep in mind that is the same kid that says ALL veggies are gross! Any fun way I can get my kids to learn is must.
Ha, this sounds like what my kids need! Win-win, they get screen time and I get them to eat nutritious food.
What an awesome way to promote eating healthy among the kids. I love that you can scan real life items and get prizes, I’m sure it’s going to be a hit.
I’m lucky that my kids enjoy fruits very much. I’m sure they’ll enjoy this app as well. It’s really fun and they get to understand why eating fruits and veggies is important.
How I wish my kids ate more fruits and veggies! I’ve done a lot of things to convince them and this app is definitely something that I’m willing to try! It sounds like a lot of fun too.
This is awesome! My kids will surely love this!
Wow that is so cool! You are right, the prizes are totally amazing! I think this is really fun for kids and will promote good eating habits.
What an awesome app! I need to download this app on my son’s iPad. He can be picky so this app would really be great for him.
It kind of reminds me of the old tomogatchi’s I’m not sure why. 🙂 Any app that would help my picky eater is very welcome in this house!
That is so cool, great to get kids learning and practicing healthy lifestyles
HuePets looks like a great tool for kids for better eat habits. Looks like the Twitter party was a success!
