📚 Back-to-School, Back to Balance! 🥦🍎
Nutrition isn’t just a kid thing — it’s a family thing. As schedules fill up with school, work, and activities, let’s keep nutrition simple and sustainable for everyone at the table.
💡 4 Simple Rules for the Whole Family
🥕 Veggies & Fruits First – Aim for color in every meal.
🍗 Prioritize Protein – Helps with focus, energy, and fullness.
🚫 Limit Sugary Snacks & Drinks – Save treats for special occasions.
🍞 Choose Quality Carbs – Think whole grains, potatoes, beans & fruit.
🧃Swap soda or juice boxes for water or milk.
🍱Keep lunches fun, balanced, and easy to prep!
Family-Approved Lunchbox Ideas:
✅ Turkey + cheese roll-ups, baby carrots, grapes, hummus
✅ Chicken & veggie quesadilla, apple slices, Greek yogurt
✅ Hard-boiled eggs, whole grain crackers, cherry tomatoes, orange wedges
✅ Pasta salad with rotisserie chicken, cucumbers, and a side of fruit
👨👩👧👦 When the whole family eats well, everyone feels better — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Let’s fuel up for success this school year!
