There are tons of ways to incorporate healthy eating into your family's daily routine. Check out these tips below to make healthy eating fun and delicious.

MAKE HEALTHY FOOD FUN

Include your kids in menu planning and cooking. The more involved they are, the higher likelihood they will try and even enjoy the food cooked. Make up silly names for foods or try and have them pick out a new fruit or veggie each week.

SET REGULAR MEAL TIMES

Structure your healthy eating routine around 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. Try to have a few of these meal times be a family meal time, with everyone enjoying food together. This gives you a chance to role model healthy habits, and chat with your kids about their day!

MAKE HEALTHY SNACKS EASILY AVAILABLE

Dedicate one shelf in your refrigerator or one area of your pantry with healthy, easy-to-grab foods

Refrigerator foods - cheese sticks, hard-boiled eggs, yogurts, deli meats and cheeses, applesauce, hummus, fresh fruit and veggies, guacamole, salsa.

Pantry foods - popcorn, pretzels, applesauce, trail mix, oatmeal, whole grain chips and crackers, dried fruit, peanut butter.

AVOID SUGARY DRINKS

Choose water and milk first, and avoid sugary sports drinks and sodas. Have these options reaily available as your go-to beverage option.

PORTION OUT SERVINGS

Avoid eating food straight out of the package - when enjoying foods that come in a larger package, such as pretzels or popcorn, portion out a serving into a smaller bowl.

LIMIT FAT INTAKE

Avoid fried foods and limit your intake of fast food. Instead, try baking, grilling, and broiling your foods. Have fun trying different seasons to increase flavor.

DON'T LABEL FOOD AS JUNK

While it may seem counterintuitive, don't forbid foods or label food as "junk food." Try limiting less healthy foods while making healthy options readily available. It is okay to have "once in a while" foods. Labeling food as bad tells kids they can't have it, and can make it more enticing.

DON'T FORCE HEALTHY HABITS

Fighting over your child's food choice doesn't encourage healthy eating. Avoid using food as a punishment or reward, or forcing children to clean their plate.

TRY SCREEN-FREE MEALS

Avoid eating in front of the TV, phone or other device. Often this can lead to eating without realizing when you are full. Doing one activity at a time and focusing on being mindful of your meal can prevent overeating.

INCORPORATE MOVEMENT

Staying active plays a major role in healthy habits and what you eat. Plan some kind of activity into your every day routine. Whether it is playing outside with your kids or taking the dog for a walk, aim for at least 20 minutes of activity each day.
