Food is so important in our daily lives.  Without it, we simply would not exist. The longevity of our lives is greatly affected by the food we consume, so healthy habits are the best key for a long and happy life.

Why not start those good eating habit early in life?

These are all very important questions to consider when it concerns the health of children; and not just any children, those so impressionable elementary school children..........

Breakfast

The example menus were lacking a healthy grain source and probiotics

Lunch

1: The more options for raw vegetables, the better. Although they are not always available.

2: Grilled chicken is a healthy meat option, and the quesadilla provide dairy with the sour cream; with a wheat tortilla, it can be utilized as an additional grain source

3: Fruit options, depending on the season, are available year round and fruit along with providing vitamins and minerals but fiber as well

4: Milk (provides dairy), juice (100% only, fruit juices can have a ton of sugar in them and we want to stay away from that)
