School will soon be out for the summer, but your lessons on healthy eating can continue at home. As you prepare the end-of-the-year packets for your students, consider including these great healthy tools and tips for your parents.
Snacks to stay on track: these quick and simple snacks are nourishing, portable and fun for kids.
Unite as a family through healthy meals. Eat, Play, Love: Raising Healthy Eaters, brings stories and advice from parents and dietitians to help you build lifelong healthy eating habits for your children.
Meals matter, especially when it comes to breakfast. Healthy and easy breakfasts will keep kids in the habit of eating the most important meal of the day all summer long.
Markets: whether it is a weekly visit to farmer’s market or a routine trip to your neighborhood grocery store, involve your kids in the planning and process of grocery shopping and they’ll be more interested in healthy foods.
Experiment with new foods and kid-friendly recipes by cooking with your kids.
Re-energize on a fun family vacation or simply change up your routine and take your workout outdoors where you can enjoy the beauty of nature.
