Healthy fats play a BIG role in growing bodies and brains. They are an essential part of a child’s diet, especially in the first two years of life when brain development is at its peak. The key is choosing the right kinds of fats!
🥑 Choose healthy fats like avocados, nut butters (served safely), seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish.
🚫 Limit saturated fats and avoid trans fats.
Healthy fats help support brain development, absorb important vitamins (A, D, E & K), and provide energy for active, growing kids.
