I'm trying to get my children to eat healthier foods. Do you have any tips?

1. Start by making sure the food you are serving is nutrient-dense and high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
2. Make meals that include a variety of colors, textures, and flavors.
3. Incorporate more plant-based proteins like beans, nuts, and legumes into your family's diet.
4. Serve smaller portions of higher-calorie foods at mealtime so kids can feel fuller for longer.
5. Offer fruit as a snack or dessert instead of sweets.
6. Encourage your children to try different vegetables and fruits they may not be familiar with.
7. Let them help prepare their own meals from scratch.
8. Have fun with it! Try new recipes together or let them choose what to make for dinner.
