If you were to ask any kid 10 and under, “Do you know iCarly?” Ninety-nine per cent of them would say, “Of course!”
Reed Alexander is “Nevel Papperman” on the Nickelodeon show, but that’s not all Reed does. Reed is a 15 year actor who is also very proactive about eating healthy foods so he can take care of his body. Not only is he taking care of himself but encouraging other kids to do the same. Reed has created some recipes that kids can make themselves and I have permission to share a few of them with you here at Family Foodies.

What to do:

Reed is getting the word out about his website and the importance of eating good food. He had a display at the Comic Con in San Diego this past weekend. There were thousands of kids there. It is great to know that he is getting the word out to young people.
Help the kids surf on over to Kewl Bites. When you enter the site you hear Reed’s voice and when the cursor is placed on the items in the kitchen they reveal different information. When you touch the blender it spins to make the smoothies! Just surf over and see the other fun and educational stuff there. Remember to enter contest !
Stay tuned for more great recipes!
