Kids are known to be picky eaters, making kids eat what is healthy and 

help them stay active is a difficult task altogether. kids often develop a

 natural preference for food they enjoy eating the most. So, the challenge is

Tips on what to feed kids:

Check out these ideas on how to encourage kids to eat healthy foods.

⏩Offer whole fruit and vegetables more often than juice. They have more fibre.

⏩Offer 500 mL (2 cups) of milk (skim, 1% or 2%) or fortified soy beverage every day, 

both unsweetened. This will help kids meet their calcium and vitamin D needs to 

build strong bones.

⏩Limit foods and drinks high in calories, fat, sugar or salt, like:

chips

cookies

soft drinks

⏩Drink water regularly. Encourage your kids to drink water when they are thirsty to get 

enough fluids throughout the day.

⏩Get creative in the kitchen by adding vegetables to your kids' favourite meals, such as:

spinach in spaghetti sauce

cauliflower in mashed potatoes

zucchini or carrot in lower fat muffins

yellow squash in macaroni and cheese

⏩Offer small amounts of food throughout the day by dividing Food Guide 

servings into kid-friendly portions. This is because young children have small 

stomachs that get full quickly.

➤For example, serve 1 Food Guide serving of meat and alternatives at 2 different meals, like:

        an egg at lunch

       about 35 g of chicken for dinnr
