Nutrition ... and eating a rainbow!!

We have some wonderful ladies that come once a month and share nutrition information with us.

Last Friday focused on {fruits} and reminded the students to eat a rainbow aka:  a variety of them!!

** Children should be eating 1 1/2 cups of fruit each day.**

One idea of incorporating fruit into a snack is making a cabob (fruit on a stick) that alternates fresh fruits.  Some examples of fresh fruits to use are:
  • Bananas
  • Pineapple
  • Assorted melons
  • Strawberries
  • Grapes
