The recently-released Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 highlights how many Americans need to shift their dietary patterns to include more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy, seafood, and oils and eat fewer refined grains, added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. Perhaps your family has also set some new year’s resolutions to try some new vegetables or whole grains or choose fruit as snacks.
To help your family embrace these small changes towards a healthier lifestyle, the Food and Nutrition Service provides a variety of recipes, tips, and materials for kids through its Team Nutrition initiative. Our latest resource is a collection of eight eBooks that teach young children about MyPlate and the types of foods found in each food group. It’s nutrition education that’s fun and easy to use right from your mobile device!
