Bring water instead of soda Oatmeal packets & fresh fruits (in place of sugary cereal) Mini carrots with hummus (instead of chips) Cashews & almonds instead of crackers String Cheese & grapes (in place of fruit roll ups)
Salads Beans (full of fiber & protein) Homemade whole bean burrito (instead of lunchable package) Whole wheat turkey sandwich (in place of hot dogs) Look for lean ground beef, skinless chicken & seafood for healthier bbq meats Grilled veggies (let kids put them on the skewer) Raisins instead of candy Fresh fruit salad, watermelon & berries make great desserts
Summer is a time when fresh foods are in season. Maybe one of your first outings can be to a nearby farm where kids can pick their snacks right off the tree!

Praying for our Children Compassion Holy Father, I pray that You would clothe my children with virtue of compassion. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12
