This post is sponsored by Produce for Kids. I’ve teamed up with Produce for Kids again to highlight an amazing campaign geared toward helping kids get active! As a dietitian and mom of three, I value physical activity just as much as I value quality nutrition. Produce for Kids, Meijer and several sponsors (you’ll find listed below) have come together to help bring the Jump with Jill Program to local schools.
This healthy eating-focused Produce for Kids® campaign with Meijer began September 4 and will run through October 1. It will raise funds for Jump with Jill and offer Meijer shoppers healthy meal solutions, recipes and tips. I am sharing one of Produce for Kids’ original recipes that I adapted slightly.
Dietitian’s Dish
I rarely serve soup to my kids, probably for fear of the mess it can make. But since I try to serve my kids a variety of foods I gave this veggie tortellini soup a try and I was pleasantly surprised when they all tried it. If you have young children that are hesitant to try soups ask them to “fish” for the vegetables and tortellini – my kids LOVED doing this!
