Nutrition Snippets: Back by popular demand!
Before the launch of Healthy Made Tasty in July 2024 -- when we were known as the Healthy Lunch Box and mostly focused on families with school-aged kids -- we shared 'Nutrition Snippets' that schools could include in their newsletters. Based on feedback, we're bringing back Snippets for schools or community groups to use in their communications.
Snippets are bite-sized nutrition tips, facts and recipes designed to help families eat well. We'll be publishing two new Snippets each month on our website under the 'Resources' tab. They'll be available as downloadable PDFs and will include links to relevant pages on the website. Snippets can also be printed.
If you need more than the two Snippets we publish each month, there's a bank of extra Snippets available in the Resources section. Please get in touch if you have any questions or feedback!
New Snippets for June:
