HOW TO MAKE THE VIRGIN DIET WORK FOR EVERYONE
One of the most common questions I get from community members new to
The Virgin Diet is, “How do I make this
work with my family?”
First and foremost, it’s important to
emember that you can’t force someone
to be healthy. In fact, that’s the fastest
way to make them hate the idea!
But offer healthy options that taste great,
model the right behavior, and let your
partner, kids, or extended family make
their own choices. It won’t take them long
to realize the nutritious options not only
taste better, they also make them feel
better.
The articles and recipes below are all the
tips and tricks I’ve developed with thou-
sands of clients and my own kids. They’ll
help you make TVD more family-friendly
without added stress.
Come up with a great way to share your
Breakthrough with your family? Please
share it with the community on
Facebook or Instagram!
Best,
JJ

HOW TO HELP KIDS EAT HEALTHY: 6 FAST, FAMILY-FRIENDLY STRATEGIES
You’ve had one of those days when you want to hit the reset button.
You know the feeling: it seems like everyone from your boss to your middle school-
er to the car that cut you off in traffic has conspired to make this day a doozy.
You’re ready to jump on the next direct flight to Honolulu, not make a great dinner!
What’s the answer?
On days like that, it’s easy to let tired, hungry kids and a growling stomach get the
better of you. Instead of giving in to the draw of the nearest pizza place, stop and
take a breath. You can do this!
Here’s 6 helpful strategies to keep mealtime peaceful and get even the most de-
manding child to eat their veggies:
EXPOSURE = PREFERENCE
Being forced to eat zucchini as a kid never made anyone a
squash lover!
But serve it often enough, make it delicious (season well and
add some grass-fed butter or coconut oil), and you might even-
tually find your kids asking you to fix their new favorite green
veggie. Brussels sprouts sautéed with bacon and garlic can con-
vert even the most veggie-phobic family member…
GET THEM INVOLVED
Just like adults, kids enjoy having a sense of purpose and con-
tributing to something bigger than themselves. Ownership in a
meal can also go a long way toward helping kids try new foods.

RETRAIN THEIR TASTE BUDS
Fake sugary foods have hijacked our kids’ taste buds. Pull the plug
on junk food and replace it with naturally sweet and savory flavors.
Here are a few of my favorites:
• Warm almonds roasted with cinnamon and vanilla make an irre-
sistible snack or dessert.
• Protein Cookie Bites are also a delicious, easy-to-make treat.
(Check out the recipe below!)
• Hummus is the perfect protein-rich option, and kids can make
it themselves once they can safely manage a food processor.
Serve with lentil or bean chips or veggies cut with cookie cutter
shapes for dunking. (Recipe also below...)
MAKE WATER FUN
“Water is my favorite drink,” said no kid ever! Manufacturers know
kids love all things sweet and fizzy, hence the juice boxes and soft
drinks lining your grocery store aisles.
Leave behind the sugar and save a few bucks by slicing their favor-
ite fruit, steeping it in filtered water, and leaving it at eye level in
the fridge. (Check out 10 yummy infused water recipes later in the
guide…)

MAKE LUNCH OR DINNER FOR BREAKFAST
You don’t have to play by the rules! If your kids crave something
more substantial than a protein shake, swap lunch or dinner for
breakfast. Try grass-fed beef sliders with gluten-free buns. Quinoa
pasta with low-sugar marinara sauce will get any kid going in the
morning.
You can do the opposite, too, and make breakfast for dinner. Sweet
potato hash browns make a fast, filling dinner, and nobody ever
turns down Paleo pancakes! (Both recipes below...)
SWAP IT OUT
I recently asked a friend’s seven-year-old son his favorite vegeta-
ble: “Mashed potatoes!” Time for a swap! Try mashing sweet po-
tatoes instead, or make a batch of “faux-tatoes”: purée roasted
cauliflower with coconut oil or butter and salt.
Once you get the hang of these swaps, any food can become a
fun challenge to upgrade! Spaghetti squash makes an easy swap
for pasta, and kids often prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk
over cow’s milk.

TOP 5 HEALTHY LUNCHBOX HACKS
What you and your family eat for lunch impacts your focus and energy for the rest of
the day! Here’s a list of easy lunchbox hacks to keep you and your kids fueled up and
ready to learn…
1. Swap chips for slow-roasted nuts. Potato and corn chips are guar-
anteed to tank your child’s energy after
lunch. Opt for a handful of roasted al-
monds or spiced chickpeas, and say hello
to energizing protein and brain-boosting
omega-3s instead. (Recipe below!)
2. Choose organic. Research shows
that kids with higher levels of common
pesticides in their systems are almost
twice as likely to suffer from ADHD.1 The
takeaway? Choosing organic matters!
3. Trade up from PB&J. Yes, peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches are a clas-
sic. They’re also full of sugar, gluten, and
potential allergens. Spread a brown rice
tortilla or Paleo wrap with a generous lay-
er of almond or cashew butter, then top
with thinly sliced fresh berries. Healthier
and tastier! (Learn how to make your own
nut butter with the simple recipe below...)
4. No more juice boxes. A cup of
apple juice has about the same amount
of sugar as a cup of cola! That means
your kiddo’s blood glucose level will take
a nosedive mid-afternoon, taking their
focus and energy along with it. Easy fix:
put a handful of your child’s favorite fruit
slices in a bottle of filtered water every
morning. It’ll taste great by lunchtime,
minus the extra sugar.
5. Dip it. Lentil chips in hummus, apple
slices or celery sticks in nut butter, fresh
berries in unsweetened Greek yogurt,
black bean chips in guacamole – the
fastest way to a child’s heart is with fun
finger food! Let them help choose their
dippers and dips, and they’ll be even
more inclined to finish their nutritious
lunch.

ROASTED SPICED CHICKPEAS
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and spread the chickpeas over the top. Place more paper towels over the chickpeas and gently rub the chick-peas to thoroughly dry them. Discard any loose skins and transfer the chickpeas to a bowl and toss with the palm fruit oil.
Discard the paper towels and line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour the chickpeas onto the bak-ing sheet and roast, shaking the pan every 10 min-utes, until the chickpeas are browned and crunchy, 33 to 35 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and gently stir in the cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt and cayenne pepper. Let cool completely before serving.
• 1 (15 ounce) can organic no-salt added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 Tbsp red palm fruit oil
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp gound cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper

Spread them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 140F for 8 hours. Let cool completely before making almond butter.
MAKES 12 SERVINGS
• 1 cup slow-roasted almonds*
• 4 tsp coconut butter

INFUSED WATER RECIPES
HOW TO MAKE INFUSED WATER:
1. Choose your favorite combination of
fruits and herbs from the list below. (Re-
member, pick organic when you can and
wash produce thoroughly.)
2. Thinly slice fruits and gently crush
herbs and ginger root to release their
flavorful oils.
3. Add your produce to filtered water
and refrigerate; cucumbers, citrus, melon,
and softer herbs like mint flavor water
almost immediately. Meanwhile, apples,
cinnamon, fresh ginger root, and tougher
herbs like rosemary need an overnight
soak.
4. If infusing in a water bottle, refill with
fresh water when you’re at the halfway
mark. That will ensure your water remains
flavorful throughout the day.
5. If you’re not going to finish your in-
fused water within 24 hours, strain out
the fruit or herbs and refrigerate the
water for up to 3 days.
6. Remember, water with fresh fruit in
it shouldn’t sit at room temperature for
more than 2 hours because it may cause
bacterial growth. Be sure to stash your
bottle in the fridge between drinks or
add ice to keep it fresh.
• blueberries and strawberry slices
• crushed raspberries and thinly sliced lemon
• crushed mint leaves, crushed ginger root, and thinly sliced lime
• watermelon chunks and crushed basil leaves
• grapefruit slices and fresh thyme leaves
• thinly sliced apple and cinnamon sticks
• cucumber slices and thinly sliced jalapeno
• cantaloupe chunks, crushed mint leaves, and thinly sliced lime
• thinly sliced lemon, strawberry slices, and crushed fresh rosemary
• thinly sliced orange, crushed ginger root, and cinnamon sticks
FLAVOR OPTIONS Some of my favorite
flavor combinations
are listed below, but
the sky’s the limit!
It’s worth noting that
some of these fruits are
high-sugar impact,
so treat them as flavor
carriers rather than
snacks…

3 QUICK TIPS TO TAKE THE FIGHT OUT OF FAMILY MEALTIME
It’s a fact of parenting life: one of the fastest ways to make kids want something is to
tell them they can’t have it! Highlight junk food in bold type as “off limits,” and it imme-
diately becomes more attractive.
The opposite holds true, too – forcing little ones to eat broccoli is the perfect way to
make them hate it for life. So what’s a parent to do?
I’ve got two boys of my own, and I understand wanting to avoid mealtime battles, while
also caring about what’s best for them. Here’s 3 quick tips to avoid battles at the table:
1. Don’t ban it – swap it! Instead of labeling food as “good” and
“bad” and sparking civil war at the dinner
table, try offering swaps instead.
For instance, if your elementary schooler
is in love with neon colored Popsicles, but
you hate the idea of all the sugar and artifi-
cial additives, offer a swap for homemade
fudge pops. Just blend together unsweet-
ened coconut milk and chocolate protein
powder, pour into molds, and freeze. Your
child still gets a tasty frozen treat, and you
know it’s actually good for them.
2. Make old foods new again. When in doubt, mix things up! If a veggie
like spinach has gotten on your child’s bad
side, try offering it in new ways.
Have they tried it raw? Dipping whole
leaves in hummus is a much different ex-
perience than steamed spinach. What
about cutting into smaller pieces and mix-
ing it into another dish they love? Chop it
up – or better yet, let them do it if they’re
old enough to do so safely – and then stir
it into simmering marinara and serve over
quinoa pasta.
3. Change the conversation. You’re not the only one who wants to see
your child grow up healthy! Kids do care
about how they look and feel, so it’s im-
portant to explain that certain food choic-
es will help them have more energy and
grow up stronger.
Instead of turning mealtime into you vs.
them, reframe the conversation so it’s
about making the best choices they can. It
doesn’t matter what their age, everyone is
more likely to get on board with a decision
when they have ownership and respect.
IT’S WORTH IT!It takes a little extra time and creativity, but suggesting
alternatives instead of saying no can pay off in big ways, as your family develops healthy attitudes about food and eating!
