Nut Butter

or Beans Eating protein is an important part of being healthy because it helps your muscles grow and develop. Most of the protein that

we eat comes from meat and dairy products, but it’s hard for the food shelf to take care of these foods because they spoil. Nut

butters and beans are good sources of protein that do not need to be kept in the refrigerator and do not go bad quickly.

Can of Fruit and Can of Veggies Fruits and vegetables are important because they provide your body with vitamins, minerals, energy, and fiber. Pick canned

fruits and veggies in a rainbow of colors to make sure you get lots of different vitamins. Look for veggies that say “low sodium”

or “no salt added.” Too much salt is bad for your heart!

Box of Cereal

Cereal is a quick and easy meal that provides your body with energy, fiber, vitamins

and minerals. It is important to start out the day with a healthy breakfast to help you

learn and grow all day!

Grains like pasta and rice provide your body with energy to grow and play! Choosing whole grains, like whole wheat pasta and

brown rice, will give you more fiber and nutrients than the more processed white varieties.
