Empower kids to build healthy habits now and into the future.
Use these tips to make every bite count!

Offer Variety

Include choices from each food group - fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy and fortified soy alternatives - in meals and snacks each day.

Make Good Nutrition Easy

Designate a shelf or a drawer in your fridge for your kids. Stock it with cut up fruits and vegetables, yogurt, nut butters, and whole-wheat mini bagels and crackers.

Get Kids Involved

Kids can peel fruits, assemble salads, measure, and scoop. Let them create and name their own side dish.

Connect At Mealtime

Eat meals together whenever possible. Turn off the TV and put away phones and tablets. "Unplug" so you can focus on healthy foods and each other.

Think About Drinks

Make water and low-fat or fat-free dairy milk and fortified soy alternatives easy options to grab in your home. Have ready-to-go containers filled and in the fridge to take on outings.

Have A Shopping Buddy

Lets kids participate in grocery shopping online or in the store. Reward them by letting them choose their favorite fruit!
