- Hi, I'm Makayla.
- [Both] And this is our teachable moment.
- At Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, we make sure that our neighbors can get the foods that they need to live healthy, active lives.
Everyone needs to eat.
And that includes snacks too.
In fact, small children should enjoy a snack or meal every three to four hours.
Healthy snacks include a variety of foods from all five food groups.
That includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy, and protein foods.
- Try making a trail mix.
You'll need a tablespoon of nuts, edamame is my favorite, dried fruit, whole grain cereal, and chocolate chips if you would like.
Put the cap back on, and then we shake it up.
(trail mix shaking) Then you have your trail mix.
- The possibilities are endless.
- What combinations can you make with the foods you have?
