Teaching our children healthy eating habits

Here's a fun and easy to make veggies and dip treat. Try this as an after school snack project or a healthy treat anytime.

2 carrots, peeled
3 cups broccoli florets
4 cherry tomatoes
3 Tbsp parsley leaves

Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

1. To prepare dipping sauce, combine yogurt, sour cream, honey, and mustard in a small bowl.

2. Hold carrots against cutting board and trim off ends. Cut each carrot in half, crosswise, then lengthwise to make four pieces. Arrange each plate by putting two carrot pieces side-by-side in the center. Arrange broccoli around the carrots forming
a cluster. Arrange the tomatoes at the top of the plate.

3. Spoon dip around the base of carrots and sprinkle with parsley.

Let the kids design their own plates and shapes. Help them learn that eating veggies is fun. Healthy eating is fun at any age! Teaching our children at any early age that eating healthy foods is fun and good for you!
