4 tips for creating a meal plan: 

1. Include at least 3 food groups (protein, dairy, grain, veggies, and fruit) with each meal. Always include a veggie or fruit.
2. Include at least 2 food groups with each snack (children should have 2 - 3 small snacks a day). Always include a veggie or fruit.
3. Use no cook meals for breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
4. Plan with themes! It can be as simple as:
       >> Meatless Monday
       >> Taco Tuesday    
       >> Sheet Pan Saturday
       >> Slow Cooker Sunday

   Making themed meals can be a great way to include your children in meal planning and prep. Check out more ideas below!
