Hi, I'm Weis Dietitian Christina with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
With the new school year underway, here are a few quick and easy tips for packing a balanced lunch that kids will actually eat.·
- Create a formula using the food groups for a nutritious meal: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and dairy. This will allow for a variety of foods and nutrients.
- Make a list of your family’s go-to options for easy shopping, prepping, packing.
- Enjoy fruits & vegetables in any form – fresh, canned, dried, 100% juice·
- Get the kids involved in the food preparation process. They will be more likely to eat something that they choose and assemble themselves.
