The Holidays always bring unhealthy eating. It usually starts at Thanksgiving which leads into Holiday parties and then before you know it the New Year is here and you need to get back into the routine of eating Healthy. Over the Holidays my girls were on the road a lot. They went through drive thru’s on their way up and down the east coast and went out to eat way more than they normally do. Now that we are home, it’s time to get back into the routine of eating healthy and trying new vegetables.
I recently came across Crunch A Color, a game to learn about healthy nutritious choices. I will be purchasing this game soon to play during meal time. To play, kids earn points as they eat servings of veggies, fruits, proteins and grains. Bonus points for trying new foods (2x points!) and good manners (e.g., setting the table, clearing the table, starting a conversation). Sounds like something my girls need! Not to mention, 5% of the profits support non-profit children’s nutrition programs including Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, FoodCorps, and Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard. Can’t wait to get my girls crunching a color soon!
