While almond milk and soy milk have long been on grocery store shelves, oat milk seems to be making a statement all its own. Another cow’s milk alternative, oat milk boasts some surprising nutritional benefits. Oat milk is typically made using gluten free oats and water. Like most milk products, it is also fortified with nutrients such as Vitamins A, D and Calcium. Being allergen free and protein packed means multi-person households can buy just one milk product to satisfy all. Compared to milk alternatives, oat milk is marginally higher in calories while boasting more fiber and protein. |

Packing well balanced, varied lunches can help your child establish a healthy eating pattern over time. There are so many ways to interpret "balanced" these days. Does a meal need to be "plant-based" or always have something green included to be healthy? In short, the answer to all these questions is a resounding "no." While there are many plate infographics that represent a healthy plate, a general rule of thumb that anyone can follow is to aim to get at least 2-3 food group each time you build a meal. With all of today’s trendy and useful lunchboxes (e.g., Bentgo to Planet Box) this should be an easy rule to follow. Do not overcomplicate things by assuming all items needs to be fresh or homemade, either. Sit down with your kid and ask for feedback on what they would like. A good question prompt may be, "Is there anything that a classmate of yours packed last year that you would like me to buy?" |
