Nutrition Challenges
KIN's weekly challenges inspire students to apply their classroom knowledge to real-life scenarios. We invite families to join in and support their child's journey through each challenge.
Lesson 1: Water & Sodium
Every time you want to drink something or are feeling thirsty, choose water! An easy way to remember to drink water is to use a reusable water bottle and bring it with you wherever you go! This will help you stay hydrated and feel energized!
Lesson 2: Fruits & Vegetables
Try at least one fruit or vegetable of every color in the rainbow! That means red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and anything in between!
Lesson 3: Grains & Proteins
Spot whole grains three times before we see you next time. This can be at home, at your friend's house, in the cafeteria, at the grocery store, or even at the farmer’s market!
Teach at least three other people something you learned during our program. You can teach your friends, family, classmates, teammates- anyone!
Lesson 7: Nutrition Wrap
Lesson 4: Fats & Cooking Methods
Try a new WHOLE FOOD GO FOOD this week! You can try fish, olives or olive oil, avocado, nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnut, brazil nut, macadamia), nutter butter, or seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp, chia, flax)!
Lesson 5: Sugars
Try three different types of fruits! You can get creative and add them to your breakfast (like in oatmeal), add them to your water, freeze them in yummy chunks, or just rinse and eat them whole!
Lesson 6: Moderation, Balanced Plate, & Nutrition Labels
Have at least one balanced meal that looks like our balanced plate, so it has all 4 food groups, fruits, veggies, protein, and grain!
