BACK TO SCHOOL NUTRITION
With summer coming to an end, it is time to think about your children's health as they go back to school. When preparing a lunch, make sure it includes protein, whole grains and one serving of fruit of vegetable. Include water and reduce or even eliminate soda. Having a pantry and refrigerator full of nutritious options for kids to
snack on will help ensure that they eat foods that add positive
nutrition-not negative nutrients-when they get home from school. Examples: fresh fruit, low-fat cheese, brown rice cakes or whole wheat crackers, graham crackers with nut butter, hummus and vegetables.
