HEALTHY EATING TOOLKIT FOR SUMMER FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM Meghan Ostrander Registered Dietitian, Community Servings February 15 th, 2011

Toolkit Created by Project Bread and Community Servings  Created in response to:  Feedback and observations from summer food sites: Children may take the food but do not always eat it They may be unfamiliar with the food, and the food is not always identified to them There is peer pressure not to eat the meals The children are not encouraged to try new foods

Goals of The Toolkit  To provide an easy-to-follow guide to sites, so that they can: -encourage staff and participants of Summer Food Sites to try a broad variety of foods -increase the appeal of healthy foods and the meals served at Summer Food Sites to staff and participants -reduce food waste at Summer Food Sites

What is in the toolkit?  Tip sheets for group leaders (have a copy in your packet)  Introduction letters for summer food staff, participants, and their caregivers  Activities for children and teens  Ideas and resources to create a nutrition-themed bulletin board or display  Ideas and resources for food-related field trips, books, and themed weeks

Hello! Welcome to the Summer Meals Program. We are ready to have fun. Some of what we will be learning this summer is about trying new foods and making healthy eating choices. These activities may include:  Taste-testing different foods  Reading books about food  Taking a field trip to a farm or farmers’ market  Playing fun games about food, like Food Bingo  We hope you enjoy the meals through the Summer Food Program.

Let’s Try an Activity…. Nutrition True or False Game For Teens

TRUE OR FALSE? Drinking milk will make me fat.

TRUE OR FALSE? FALSE  Drinking skim or 1% milk, like the ones served here is great way to get nutrients and calcium you need for strength and energy and can help you control your hunger.

TRUE OR FALSE If I drink fruit juice, I still need to eat fruits and vegetables too.

TRUE OR FALSE TRUE Eat more fruit than you drink. Juice can have tons of sugar that can lead to weight gain and cavities and lacks nutrients that you would get by eating the actual fruit. The fruit given to you with your meals will give you nutrients that you need to be healthy. Limit juice to one 8-ounce glass a day.

TRUE OR FALSE? What I eat affects my skin.

TRUE OR FALSE?. TRUE Your skin needs nutrients to help it grow. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables each day as well as drinking and eating dairy products like milk and yogurt will give your skin the vitamins and minerals it needs to be healthy. The meals here all have the vitamins and minerals that are great for your skin.

TRUE OR FALSE? Skipping meals is a good way to lose weight.

TRUE OR FALSE? Eating three well-balanced meals a day like the ones you eat here is a better way to control calories. If you skip meals, you will get very hungry and be more likely to over eat. FALSE

TRUE OR FALSE Replacing meals with protein shakes and energy bars will help me be a better athlete.

TRUE OR FALSE Replacing meals with protein shakes and energy bars will help me be a better athlete. FALSE To succeed at sports, your body needs all food groups for energy and strength. Our meals give you the right balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to play at your best.

Thank you! Have a healthy, happy, summer!
