Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Today we will focus on encouraging our children to CHOOSE water to drink when they are thirsty! But, sometimes you may find your family craving something different to drink like sweet and fizzy pop. Drinking pop can pack sugar into your diet, add hundreds of unnecessary calories to your daily intake, and causes cavities! For a great, fizzy treat, try this pop alternative:
• Start with your children’s favorite kind of juice – make sure it’s 100% juice with no added sugar (Try apple, cranberry, or grape)
• Add ¼ cup of juice into 1 cup of sparkling water
• Stir it well and drink it over ice
• This adds flavor and bubbles without the added sugar, while still giving you plenty of hydration
• Share your children’s creations and recipes by posting online, using #healthykidsquarantined Remember to stay hydrated!
