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?
