Let’s help Broccoli Bailey create her own healthy lunch Designed by Anna Maetzold

Bailey has some healthy choices to make. She’ll need a food from each food group to eat! Fruits Whole Grains Vegetables Dairy Proteins

Why so many choices? We need lots of different kinds of food in our bodies to do different things. Each food group gives us a different kind of energy and helps us to grow, so it’s important we make sure to eat each and every one of them!

This food pyramid can help us make smart choices! Each food belongs to a different group, listen as I describe them to you!

So, how does each food group help me be healthy? Fruits help protect us from getting sick, and give us lots of energy too ! Grains give you lots of energy to get through the day! Foods in the dairy group, like cheese, help your bones grow strong! Foods that are full of protein help your muscles grow and give you lots of energy! Vegetables like me help you in lots of different ways, but mostly by keeping everything inside your body running the way it should!

It’s time! Can you help Bailey create her healthy lunch? The first thing I want to eat is a healthy GRAIN. Can you help me choose? OR *Click on the best choice*

Sorry! Yogurt is a good way to get your daily dairy, but it’s not a grain. The bread would have been a better option, especially if it’s whole grain! CONTINUE

Sorry! Ham is a great way to get protein, but it’s not a fruit. A banana would have been the better choice, it’s full of fruit’s healthy powers! CONTINUE

Oops! Carrots are a great way to get a serving of vegetables, but they don’t have much protein. Peanut butter can give you plenty of protein power! CONTINUE

Oh no! Oatmeal is a perfect way to eat grains, but it doesn’t belong in the dairy group. Milk would have been a better choice, it’s filled with dairy to strengthen your bones! CONTINUE

You got it! A red pepper is a rockin’ way to eat your veggies! CONTINUE
