Healthy Nutrition for Children: Building the Foundation for Lifelong Health

 Healthy Snack Ideas

Snacks are an opportunity to add nutrition, not just fill hunger between meals. Consider these healthy options:

–  Fruit slices with nut butter 

–  Yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of granola 

–  Veggie sticks with hummus 

–  Cheese cubes and whole-grain crackers 

 Hydration Matters

Water should be the primary drink for children, as sugary beverages can lead to cavities and unhealthy weight gain. Milk, whether dairy or fortified plant-based, is another good option for calcium and vitamin D.
