Make Good Food Choices Great Ones

An apple with its skin intact will provide twice the fiber. And if you serve fruit with a sugary dip like caramel, then try switching to peanut butter to give kids some protein and healthy fats. Yogurt makes a great breakfast food for kids and adults alike, but some brands pack several spoonfuls of sugar. Look for low-fat, low-sugar brands, and if you can find a label that reads "live active cultures," then probiotics are present. These are healthy bacteria that enhance digestion. If your child enjoys seafood, that's great. But if we're talking just fish sticks or fried fish sandwiches slathered with mayo, then the benefits of eating seafood are greatly reduced. Give tuna a try. Mercury in fish is a concern, but kids can eat a serving or two of chunk light tuna in water each week. You're probably doing a great job getting nutritious food on the table, but get creative and find even more ways of feeding your kids the food they love and that's good for them.
