The Intentional Table
Feeding kids isn’t just about what’s on the plate - it’s about raising them to feel confident, capable, and at peace with food and their bodies.
The Intentional Table Podcast is here to help you break the cycles of guilt, shame, and mealtime stress so you can raise kids who eat well and feel good about it.
Hosted by Nicole Cruz, a registered dietitian and mom of three who has coached thousands of parents, this podcast gives you the tools, structure, and mindset shifts to create a positive, empowered eating environment at home.
With guidance, compassion, and strategies that really work, you’ll feel more confident and less stressed while supporting your kids through 'picky' eating, 'overeating', struggles with sweets, and everything in between.

The Truth About Bedtime Snacks (And Whether You Should Do One)
Do you ever wonder whether your child really needs a bedtime snack?
Is it ruining dinner?
Could skipping it mean they won’t sleep because they’re hungry?
And honestly… who wants to be back in the kitchen again at 7:30 pm?
In today’s episode of The Intentional Table, we’re breaking down:
- The real pros and cons of offering a bedtime snack
- When it’s helpful—and when it might not be
- How to use an evening snack without sabotaging dinner or dragging out bedtime
--> And I’m sharing exactly how I handle bedtime snacks in my own family
