As a parent, you have the fantastic opportunity to set your children off towards a long healthy life, and you can do this by teaching smart eating habits. Sure, you’ll hear some folks say that “hey, they’re kids … they can eat candy and hot dogs all day without having it effect them”. Hogwash! It’s simply not true, and the habits and standards you teach your children today will have a lifelong effect.
This is why I LOVE the Healthy Habits Plate. It provides a simple format for portions and advocates the good stuff like lots of produce on the plate. Make this plate a standard at each meal and children will grow accustomed to piling on the fruits and veggies, while enjoying moderate portions of protein and starchy carbs. For only $4.99, this dishwasher Safe, BPA Free, and Lead Free plate is an ideal staple for any home with a happy healthy child growing in it.
The Healthy Habits plate teaches kids that:
-
half their plate should be full of fruits and vegetables,
-
1/4 of their plate should be filled with protein,
-
1/4 of the plate with grains.
