Healthy snack ideas from Remmi

Here is another post by our Culinary Kid SuperStar, Remmi Smith!

One of the best ways to improve healthy eating is to eat healthy snacks. In our world today, a lot of kids have busy schedules after school. While it might be easy to grab a bag of chips, it is just as easy to grab a bag of nuts. Probably the best thing you can do is plan your snacks ahead of time. If you are involved in lessons or sports after school it is a good idea to pack a snack to take with you so it is there when you get hungry and need some energy.

Get the Ask, Listen, Learn game at your school!

Hey kids and parents, do you want to have the Ask, Listen, Learn game at your school?

If you would like to tell your teachers and school administrators about our program and get the game in your classroom, you can print out our one-page information sheet to share with them.

The interactive game gets kids up and moving, encouraging them to “Say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking.” Developed by The Century Council, and PE4Life with interactive fitness systems pioneer, SSD Ltd., the creator of XaviX, the Ask, Listen, Learn game allows the player to customize their on-screen character and choose from four, multi-level activities where they are challenged to answer questions about how alcohol affects their body, the basics of good nutrition and the impact of making healthy decisions. More than fifty questions randomly appear as kids race to school, workout in the dance studio, or challenge their friends, while raising their heart rate and increasing their fitness.

They are fat free and only have 25 calories. Castroville, California, is the artichoke capital of the world and in 1948 the first “Artichoke Queen” was crowned….it was the famous Marilyn Monroe. Artichokes are so fun to eat and easy to prepare.
