All children deserve access to nutritious food.

At Brighter Bites, we deliver fresh #fruits & #vegetables to families and teach them how to enjoy and prepare healthy meals. Together, we're increasing produce consumption, cooking more families meals from scratch, and reducing sugar consumption in kids' diets.

Small changes to our diet can make a big impact in our overall health. This #NationalHeartMonth, we’re proud to share how Brighter Bites' nutrition education inspires families to embrace heart-healthy habits in the communities we serve. ❤️

Here are some simple swaps we teach:
🥕🥒Thinly sliced carrots, cucumber, zucchini, and celery serve as a great “chip” for dipping with salsa or hummus.
🍋Try sparkling water with lemon or lime instead of soda.

These small steps lead to healthier futures for families across the country. Which of these swaps will you commit to?
