Nutrition and Healthy Eating
Wonderful Rainbow Water!
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!

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. Here are some ideas to make your way across the rainbow try adding:
• RED: watermelon and/or strawberries
• ORANGE: orange slices
• YELLOW: lemon slices
• GREEN: cucumbers slices
• BLUE: blueberries
• VIOLET: blackberries
• RAINBOW: build a rainbow drink by adding any or all of the above options!
