Keeping Your Food Budget in Check

With good planning, you can keep your food costs under control by:

• Set a food budget so that you know how much you have to spend on the foods you need.
• Do some meal planning so that you know what’s for dinner and you aren’t tempted to buy fast food at the last minute.
• Write a grocery list so that you don’t make impulse purchases.
• Meal plan around the plate: make half the plate fruits and vegetables, one quarter of the plate whole grains, and the last quarter a lean protein.
• Check out meal time tips and choosemyplate.gov for healthy options.
• Lean proteins don’t always have to be meat: try a plant-based protein like beans, lentils, or soy.
  • Try making home made bean burgers
  • Cook frozen edamame for your protein source for dinner
• Pick an inexpensive “go-to meal” that you enjoy once a week –like tacos with veggies and lean ground turkey with salsa, bean-veggie enchiladas or a colorful southwestern bean salad.
• Kids often beg for treats – choose a healthy snack before you go! Then let them choose foods from the produce aisle, not the candy aisle.
• Pack snacks for the family. Foods from snack bars or convenience stores can cost lots of money over time.

5 Tips to Outsmart Your Junk Food Snack Attack

• Cut back on snack foods like chips, cookies, sticks and fake veggies that come in bags – they are not real food and trick you into eating too much. Make healthy choices for a powerful body and mind.
• Choose more fresh fruits, veggies, 100% whole grains, beans and nuts instead!
• Skip fast foods or choose healthier options like a grilled chicken salad.
• Stay hydrated! Keep herbal teas, water with lemon, lime or cucumber slices in the fridge and remember to have a glass before eating. This will help you make healthier choices.
• Remember when you’re hungry reach for super foods like the Super Crew. Choose foods that make you feel and look your best – inside and out!

What Kids Eat Today Prevents Cancer Tomorrow!

Approximately one in three cancers could be prevented if we all ate smarter, moved more and weighed less, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR). But achieving that goal will be difficult, because so many of us learn unhealthy habits in childhood. SuperKids Nutrition has teamed up with AICR to create recipes, games and activities to show parents and kids how healthy foods can taste great and that being active can be fun!  Here are 3 tips for your family to start preventing cancer today!

1) Eat Powerful Plant Foods – Choose a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, herbs and spices! Plant foods have super colorful compounds that work to shield your body and your KIDS’ bodies from bacteria, germs, viruses and diseases like cancer and heart disease. Use the Super Crew Shield Tracker to make sure you’re getting enough colors in your diet to shield your family from cancer.

2) Make it fun – Read, play and learn about fruits and vegetables together in a fun way.  Go on a healthy food scavenger hunt at a farmer’s market or your local grocery store, conduct a family cooking competition in your own kitchen or plant a small vegetable or herb garden.  Have some fun!  Our tool kit has tips on getting kids cooking in the kitchen. Teaching kids to cook, even if it’s just once a month helps develop independence, organization and the ability to follow directions. Plus they’re more likely to eat what they make!

3) Go Whole or Go Home! Make a welcomed place for whole grains at your table.  The fiber will not only keep you full, but whole grains are an important part in cancer and heart disease prevention. When making baked goods (like pies) use whole-grain flour instead of white flour.  Make our delicious whole-grain fruit bars with your kids: http://www.aicr.org/assets/docs/pdf/healthykids/whole-grain-fruit-bars.pdf

Learn more about cancer prevention and make a pledge to start preventing cancer today!
