Parents ask me all the time where they can find accurate nutrition information. I’ll be sure to share my favorite RDN-approved recommendations with you!
Fruits and Veggies More Matters is one of my favorite websites for parents who need help encouraging their kids to eat more … well, fruits and veggies! This fantastic website has education materials for kids, detailed descriptions of produce, and buying-in-season guides. It’s a great place to find tons of recipes to dress up produce in a way that kids will enjoy and even has menu planning help (including free, budget friendly menus). Check out their coloring and activity pages for kids too! If you are considering following a vegetarian diet or your child or teen has approached you with this idea, this website has accurate information on how to follow this healthy diet while including all the essential nutrients for growing kids. Fruits and Veggies More Matters even has information on starting your own vegetable garden! This really is an excellent resource for families who want to help their kids learn to love fruits and vegetables.
