Healthy Eating to Kick Start The Summer!


Adelberg Montalvan Pediatric Dental and Orthodontics

Memorial Day celebrates the unofficial start of summer; which means frequent trips to the ice cream truck and pool snack bar with your little ones. Problem is, most of these foods – though may be convenient, contain loads of sugar that are unhealthy for your child and their teeth!

Need some quick, simple, healthy snack ideas for your kids this summer? Try some of ours, they fit perfectly in packed lunches:
  • Ants on a log – spread peanut butter on celery sticks and sprinkle them with raisins
  • Cottage cheese with cut-up peaches, nectarines, pineapple, or bananas
  • Canned salmon mixed with low-fat mayo and spread on baked whole-grain crackers or celery stalks
  • Make your own pizza lunchables – use a multigrain sandwich thin, turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce, and shredded low fat cheese
And, as the temperature heats up – try dipping a banana in yogurt, rolling in crushed cereal, and freezing it for a tasty frozen treat!
