The first would be vegetables
and fruits.
“They could be simple ideas.
They could be cut-up cucumbers,
carrot sticks, celery sticks, cher-
ry tomatoes,” she said, “and fruit
could range from anything from
unsweetened apple sauce cup to a
cut-up apple to some berries.”
Next are whole grain foods.
“That’s traditionally our carbo-
hydrate foods or our starchy foods,
so whole-grain crackers, a whole-
grain bun, whole-wheat noodles,
pita pockets, those type of things.”
The protein food group includes
such things as meat, poultry, eggs,
fish, beans and chickpeas.
Dairy is also included in that
group, and that includes yogurt,
cheese and milk.
“Some simple ideas there could
be tuna mixed with a bit of mayon-
naise,” Larocque said. “Your child
could eat that with the whole-
grain crackers.”
