Students took some time to study the five food groups outlined in MyPyramid, a guide for healthy eating. We talked about serving sizes and number of servings. We also discussed the fact that exercise is a part of MyPyramid in order to keep a healthy balance. We made a list of the students' favorite healthful snacks. We discussed that these snacks may be considered healthful for different reasons. Here are some snacks that made the list:
grapes
apples
apple slices with peanut butter
crackers and cheese slices
string cheese
a bowl of cereal with milk
baked tortilla chips and salsa
toast with peanut butter, cinnamon, and bananas
carrots
banana
a boiled egg
applesauce
a sandwich
pears
leftover hotdish
Happy snacking!
