Good Nutrition is our Mission

National Nutrition Month is all about spreading the word on good nutrition to help families develop healthy habits. There are many resources out there to help guide you in making good nutrition decisions. Of course, the Brighter Bites parent handbooks are a great place to get nutrition information. Our handbooks cover a wide range of topics including ways to use fresh produce and tips on smarter snacking. We’ve even posted some of the handbook information on our website to share with you!

Other websites that have useful resources include Eat Right and Choose MyPlate. On the Eat Right website, you’ll find tons of great resources including wonderful recipes and different ways to make nutritious food fun for kids. Choose MyPlate is a great resource because it explains the basic guidelines of the meal planning tool which includes making half of your plate fruits and vegetables. Developing good nutrition habits early may help reduce the risk of many diseases later on in life. Here at Brighter Bites, we hope that the colorful fruits and veggies that we provide to families each week will help them develop good nutrition habits now and in the future!
