🍽March is National Nutrition Month🍽 Everyone is so busy, but you can still eat healthy, even "on the run." 🚗 Here are tips on how to eat healthier when "eating out": 1. Bring healthy snacks along in the car that the kids have picked out and prepared -- cut up vegetables, whole fruit, nuts or sunflower seeds, and protein bars. 🥕🍏 2. Think ahead and plan where you will eat. Pick a place with healthier options. 3. Choose grilled over breaded, baked or broiled over fried. 4. Order the child size portion or an appetizer instead of a main course. 5. Split dessert or order fresh fruit with whipped cream for dessert.🍓 6. Hold up on eating bread or chips before your meal is served. 📣Remember, eating healthier leads to a happier and healthy YOU!☺
