Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Did you know that many popular drinks like soda, sports drinks and even juice can have as much as 10 teaspoons of sugar added? Yikes! That much sugar is not good for our bodies or our teeth. Did you also know that water has zero sugar? This is what makes water our healthiest drink. But healthy does not need to be boring! There are many ways to flavor water and keep it fun. This week as we work to eat the rainbow, let’s also try to flavor our water using as a rainbow of fruits and veggies. Follow the schedule below to make your way across the rainbow.
• Tuesday: Add watermelon and/or strawberries
• Wednesday: Add orange slices
• Thursday: Add lemon slices
• Friday: Add cucumbers slices
• Saturday: Add blackberries and/or blueberries
• Sunday: Build a rainbow drink by adding any or all of the above
To prepare your rainbow water:
• Fill one half of a pitcher with cold water and fruit/vegetable from above
• Let sit for at least two hours
• Enjoy your cold and healthy drink!
