Back to School – Packing a Colorful Lunch

School is just around the corner and we will be packing our children or grandchildren lunches very soon!  Keep MyPlate in mind when you are making lunches so your little ones will have adequate nutrition to get them through their busy school days! Limit the sweets you pack for your child and don’t send your child off to school without packing at least one fruit or vegetable in their lunches and one item from each food group.
