The food we serve to our children has a great impact on their future health.

Food plays a vital role in your child’s growth and development. 

Your child’s diet must have fresh fruits & vegetables, lean meats, whole grain breads, cereals, and healthy dairy products.

We've put together a list of healthy recipes your

child will love to eat.

Healthy Food & Your Child

Breakfast

Start the day with a half cup of non-fat or low-fat milk poured over a half cup of whole grain cereal.

Slice a half cup of strawberries, banana, or cantaloupe, and top the cereal with the fruit.

Oatmeal is one of the healthiest meals on a breakfast menu.

Lunch

Sandwiches made with high-fiber bread filled with protein-rich food and veggies are a great lunch idea.

For an even healthier choice, try going Mediterranean style by filling up pita pockets with fresh veggies.

Homemade pizza, which includes nutritious toppings such as spinach and mushrooms, will add to the excitement.

Dinner Salads go great with any meal,

especially dinner.

Serve an entree rich in protein, such as fish or chicken strips, along with foods high in fiber, such as brown rice, cucumbers, sweet potatoes & broccoli.

Beans on toast make a much healthier choice than a burger with fries.

For desserts, use fruits such as apples, grapes, strawberries, dates, and nuts.
