Mealtime Magic: Healthy Eating Tips

- Eat as a family. Make sure your kids see you eating fruits and vegetables.
- Try to have fruits and vegetables take up half of your plate.
- Instead of focusing on taking away foods, try adding healthy foods. If your kids are hungry, tell them they need to eat fruit before having candy.
- Make fruit fun. Serve bite-size pieces on skewers.
- Use fruit as dessert. You can easily dress up fruit with a few extra ingredients to satisfy any sweet tooth.
- Add vegetables to things your family already eats, like casseroles and tacos.
