Yesterday I was honored to speak at a meeting for the foster parents of the South Bay Bright Future Foster Family Agency in Los Angeles. Since it is a requirement that the foster parents prepare three “home-cooked” meals every day, they wanted to ensure they are providing nutritious options.
Some of the topics we discussed included how to make a healthy breakfast on the run, improving lunch choices at school, and appropriate timing of meals. I also brought along my sugary beverage models which are pictured below. They are always a great visual that I like to include so parents can see how much added sugar are in the drinks they give to their children and teens. Check out some of the drinks below, are there any that surprise you?
