1. **Keep healthy snacks available** at all times and in plain view (i.e. keep a bowl of fruit on the table or carrot sticks and hummus in the fridge)

2. **Get your family involved** with meal planning and food prep. Or have them choose a meal the whole family will eat one night a week.

3. **Try new ways to prepare veggies.** For example, the Carrot Dogs, "Beef" with Broccoli Bowl and Fettuccine Alfredo (made with cauliflower!) were all HUGE hits on the meal plans.

4. **Make grocery store and farmer's market a family event.** Have the kids choose one vegetable they want to try and help prepare for the week.

5. **Teach your family to read nutrition labels** and what ingredients to look out for (i.e. milk, casein, etc.)

6. **Take it one meal at a time.** Meals don't have to be elaborate or complex. Remember KISS: Keep it simple, silly!

7. **Sign-up for the meal plans!** The family meal plan is always kid-friendly and great for the whole family!
