Smile, it's Friday🍎😁! Whoever said playing with your food is bad? At #BrighterBites , we say making #fruits and #vegetables fun is a great way to help your child eat them more frequently. Try cutting fruits and veggies into playful shapes, and get your kid involved! Children are more likely to try foods that they helped prepare🧑‍🍳.

Looking for ways to boost your kids' immune systems this winter? Make sure they are including servings of fresh #fruits and #vegetables in their diets🍎🥦. Fruits and vegetables are easy healthy snack options. Try adding pureed cauliflower, potatoes, or sweet potatoes in place of heavy cream in soups🍲. Add pureed pumpkin, bananas, or applesauce in baked goods for moisture and sweetness🍞.

Our #BrighterBites team member, Jocelyn, is showing off some of the lovely green cabbage that families received in their Brighter Bites bags. You can enjoy cabbage in a variety of ways, from shredded raw in coleslaw, fermented in sauerkraut, and even cooked in some comforting soups 🤗🍲. Cabbage is a great source of vitamin C, which plays a crucial role in keeping us happy and healthy all year long.
