Tip #1: Get Involved

The best way to start a relationship with food is to recognize it. Get kids in the kitchen and have them involved in meal prep! Have them wash vegetables and fruit. Keep it interesting with a variety of different vegetables and show them how awesome food is!

Tip #2: Cooking Class

Got a free afternoon? Get your kids in the kitchen and teach them how to make something simple. Get your hands dirty and have a great time making something delicious and healthy!

Tip #3: Grocery Shopping

Have a great time choosing healthy vegetables and fruit when you are out grocery shopping. Take your kids with you and make it a fun trip to see which vegetables they want to try! Point out the different colours they see and talk about how great they are for their health!

Tip #4: Have an Afternoon Smoothie

When the afternoon munchies hit, why not switch up the snacks and make a healthy smoothie instead? Your kids will enjoy choosing the ingredients (stick to healthy fruits and vegetables). Use a blender to mix it up and sip something healthy for an afternoon snack!

Tip #5: Try New Recipes

A great way to experience food is to make new recipes! Try the latest super foods or a new vegetable! Check out the countless recipes online and have fun exploring your culinary side. The exposure to all the healthy options out there will leave a lasting impression on your kids and help them make better food choices in the future!
