21 Oct Healthy children

Children under 5 years old need more fat in their diet than older children. While it’s great to encourage children to eat fruits and vegetables, don’t let them fill up on fiber because they still need to leave room for fats and protein to provide the adequate calories and nutrients that they need for growth.

Great snack ideas for children:
Baby carrots, snap peas, red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. As well as pita bread and hummus, or olives, or cashews.
