For a yummy smoothie, combine one banana with some strawberries, kale, blueberries and milk. Blend it up and serve.
"The best part, your kids are gonna love making the smoothie and then slurping it down," Bauer said.
And broccoli is another good cold-buster.
"Broccoli is loaded with vitamin C to boost your immune system," Bauer said.
But getting kids to eat broccoli can be a challenge, so Bauer recommends steaming it and hiding it in a guacamole dip.
She said parents can also do the same with pizza.

All of these healthy recipes can be found in Bauer's new children's book, "Yummy Yoga." She said combining yoga with a nutritious diet is the key to fending off sickness.
