Did you know children need to eat at least 3 servings of #vegetables and 2-3 servings of #fruits every day? This makes a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables is high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, and folate. Every fruit and vegetable provides different vitamins and minerals, so aim for variety and mix it up! 👆Click link in bio to see more healthy tips like these!
