   Nutrition and Healthy Eating
   Handouts: Protein Tip Sheet; Protein Tracker
   Protein is one of the 5 essential food groups from MyPlate. It is helpful to think of protein as a building block that helps your children BUILD our muscles, bones, skin and blood. When your children feel hungry, encouraging them to grab for protein is a great way to keep them feeling fuller, longer. Yet, protein can be a hard food group to encourage children to eat if they don’t like meat.
   Did you know that there are many plant-based protein sources that are inexpensive and easy to find? Canned beans like kidney, pinto and black beans are a great source of protein. Chickpeas and lentils are also a great way to get some protein. Check out this protein tip sheet HANDOUT for suggestions on how to vary your family’s protein.
   Have your children keep track of their protein intake this week to see how much and what types of protein they are eating! Use this Protein tracker handout to help!
