Good Breakfast
You should always eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day. When I wake up, I am really hungry. Here's a good idea:
Yogurt
3 small fruit pieces
a scoop of cereal
top it off with some raisins.
and there you have a delicious and nutritious breakfast!
UNLESS YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MILK
YOU SHOULD DRINK
MORE INSTEAD OF
JUICE
Vegetables are good for you. You should eat 2-3 servings a day. They give you strong bones and teeth. They are also important for your skin and eyes.

But good snacks are fun too.
SNACKING GETS A BAD NAME, BUT NOT ALL SNACKS ARE BAD FOR YOU.
BABIES EAT EVERY FEW HOURS WHEN BORN, AND AS THEY GET OLDER, THEY STILL NEED TO EAT MORE OFTEN.
BECAUSE SMALL TUMMIES CAN'T HOLD MUCH, THEY CAN'T HOLD ENOUGH FOOD NECESSARY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR GROWING BODY AND ENERGY NEEDS.
EATING SIX TIMES A DAY IS NOT UNNATURAL, AND SO SNACKS CAN BE GOOD FOR CHILDREN.
BUT THERE ARE GOOD AND NOT SO GOOD SNACKS. NANNY ALWAYS TRIES TO FIND GOOD FOR US SNACKS...I WILL SHARE SOME OF HER IDEAS WITH YOU.
How about a graham cracker sandwich?
***graham crackers
***peanut butter
***marshmallow creme, or mini's
Put it all together.... so tasty
