I'm trying to get my kids to eat healthier, what are some good tips for doing this?

1. Start by making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy options like fruits and vegetables, lean proteins such as fish or chicken, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
2. Make meals that are easy to prepare in advance and freeze them for quick weeknight meals.
3. Serve smaller portions of the foods you want your children to eat more of and encourage them to ask for seconds if they're still hungry.
4. Incorporate physical activity into your mealtime routine. Take a walk around the block after dinner or play a game together while eating.
5. Offer nutritious snacks throughout the day so your child isn't relying on sugary treats. Try fruit smoothies, yogurt parfaits, granola bars, or homemade trail mix.
