The wonderful folks at Nourish Nova Scotia have been hard at work developing nutritious, healthy and FUN recipes for students & families this holiday season!
Tips for Planning:
- Try new healthy foods. Kids like adventure!
- Get children involved in celebration planning by asking them for their favourite healthy snack ideas, or giving them choices and get them to vote on their top picks.
- Choose foods for fun, good taste and health. Celebrations that feature healthful foods provide opportunities for children to practice making wise food choices.
- Serve a balanced menu consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein (like egg, yogurt, low-fat cheese).
- Cut foods into fun shapes using cookie cutters and allow children to assemble their own snacks.
- Serve water or milk for beverages.
