Helpful Hints:
|
The Food Guide Pyramid shows how to make food choices for a healthy diet. Adults and kids from age 2 years can follow this plan and have lots of variety in what they eat.
Five different food groups are in the Food Guide Pyramid, and each is represented in this snack. The cracker belongs in the grain group at the base of the pyramid. Complex carbohydrates in this group are packed with lots of energy. The peas are in the vegetable group, and raisins and grapes are in the fruit group. Both food groups provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cheese has lots of calcium and fits in the milk group. Peanut butter gives us protein from the meat group. It takes a variety of food to have a balanced diet.

Safety Tip:
|
When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and turn away from food and other people. The next step is to wash your hands with soap and water to get rid of germs that can make us, or others around us, sick.
This snack is intended for children over age two. Do not serve to younger children who may choke.
