Mama Mare Nutritional Finds: Live Healthy Thibodaux Market

  Summer is here with the sounds of splashing pool water and the sights of neon colored nutrition. 

My ‘tod’ is now 15 months old and eats like a foal. Most of her hunger is due to her prancing and frolicking in the splash pool. It’s as if she is a mermaid growing fins that iridescently reflect Summertime. When she ‘comes onto land’ she gets hungry from all the ‘under-water adventures’. 

I’m sure all ‘Mama Mares’ can relate to pool hunger. Therefore, I like to keep nutritional nibbles at the pool-side for my little one. 

Recently, I found some great seasonal selections at the Live Healthy Thibodaux Market located at the corner of Tiger Drive and Highway 1 (Thibodaux). 

The market offers fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, jams, etc. every Monday from 3pm-6pm. 

I ‘trotted’ the market this past Monday and found the most renowned summertime fruit…Watermelon. The green brine beckoned with freshness. The local grower of this seasonal staple had them marked at reasonable prices, which this mama appreciated. 

The neon green flashed upon other summer crops such as crimson tomatoes, emerald cucumbers, and ivory squash.  

My nutritional finds that packed my ‘saddle bags’ consisted of the watermelon, cucumbers, and fresh baked bread. 

Today, the pool hunger set in for my blue eyed mermaid, so I offered her the crisp watermelon from the market . She enjoyed every nibble! (Mom and dad did also.)

‘Mama Mares’, if you’re looking for fresh summertime finds, make sure to trot to the Live Healthy Thibodaux Market. Your little mermaids (or mermen) will opt to nibble on the sweet neon nutrition instead of refined sugar snacks. 

That’s a ‘cannon ball splash’ for every mom. 

Again, the market will take place next Monday (June 26th) from 3pm - 6pm.
