This exciting month-long celebration of Americans’ favorite plant foods and all the amazing flavors and feelings associated with eating and enjoying fruits and vegetables
PBH invites everyone to Have A Plant® this September and all school year! Here are a few ways you can help your readers spread the fruit and veggie love during back-to-school season:
- Keep It Real: Start back to school on the right fruit and set some goals as a family to boost how often you enjoy fruits and veggies each week. For more inspo on how to keep fruit and veggie-filled meals and snacks easy and FUN, check out our new Kickin’ It With Kids content.
- Start With Fruits & Veggies First: Research has shown that simply eating fruits and vegetables first, before and/or at a meal or snack, can help improve the odds they’re eaten more often.
- Have The Little Ones Serve as Sous Chef: Kids love to be in the kitchen so take advantage and get them involved. Involving kids in fruit and veggie prep can make them feel like they are superheroes when it comes to helping the entire family up their produce intake.
- Have Fun in the Kitchen: Get the kiddos involved and use cookie cutters to create fun shapes with fruits and veggies or have the kids put their chef hats on and whip up a kid-cuterie board with their favorite fruits and veggies to create a fun platter. The opportunities are endless!
- Experiment With All Varieties & Types: Whether fresh, frozen, canned, dried or 100% juice, all forms of fruits and veggies count toward boosting your health and happiness.
- Play it on Repeat: If your family has a favorite fruit or veggie inspired dish, make it a weekly tradition. And if you need some ideas to get you started, we’ve got you covered.
- Celebrate Your Plantentions: National Fruits & Veggies Month is the perfect time to set a goal to #haveaplant more often and then celebrate your success together, with rewards your kids identify.
