Nutrition and Healthy Eating
A healthy diet contains whole-grain carbohydrates which can sometimes be tricky to locate. One way to tell if a food is a whole grain is to look to see if the word “WHOLE” is on the food label. Some food packages may have a “whole” grain stamp on the package instead that says, 100% of the food is made of whole grains. This week check the food labels on your carbohydrates to see how many say WHOLE or have a 100% whole grain stamps. Compare the whole grains you found in your house to the ones listed in this WORD SCRAMBLE.
For a tasty and healthy whole grain snack try our Healthy Whole Grain Trail Mix
• 1 cup chopped nuts – try walnuts, almonds, or pecans
• 1/4 cup raisins, Craisins, or other dried fruit
• 3 1/2 cups unsweetened whole-grain cereal (try Chex or Cheerios)
• 1 cup popcorn
• Add in 1 cup broken pieces of dark chocolate
• Mix together and enjoy!
