How to Feed Your Family Well

As your child grows, offering a variety of foods helps them get the vitamins and minerals they need to thrive. You don't have to do it perfectly every day. Small steps add up to big nutritional wins!

For more helpful guidance on building balance meals, check out this resource from the American Academy of Pediatrics: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/gradeschool/nutrition/Pages/Making-Healthy-Food-Choices.aspx

And remember, WIC is here to help you fill your kitchen with wholesome, nourishing options for the whole family!

WIC-Approved Food of the Month - Beets

Beets are more than a vibrantly colored winter vegetable. They're a nutrient powerhouse! Beets are a great source of folate for a healthy pregnancy, fiber for good digestion, and iron to help fight tiredness. They even help support a healthy heart and blood pressure.

Enjoy them roasted until sweet and tender, blended into a smoothie, or chopped fresh onto a salad. Remember, you can use your WIC benefits for fresh or canned beets!

If you're looking for a comforting and warm recipe, here's one that highlights root vegetables like beets: https://choosehomemade.org/recipes/root-veggie-stew-with-dumplings/
