MyPlate is now on Alexa!

Posted on by Karen Blakeslee

For those who use Alexa, there is a new option to receive MyPlate nutrition information straight to your home.

The MyPlate Alexa skill targets parents and caregivers of babies and toddlers to give science-based food and nutrition advice. More age groups will be added.

All information is based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025.

Some topics include developmental readiness in 4-5 month babies, responsive feeding in 6-11 month babies, and added sugars for 12-24 month toddlers.
