Adding grain to family cooking
Fewer than 10 percent of Americans get their recommended daily servings of whole grains each day*. Moms are looking for ways to add these to their kids' diets. Follow these tasty tips to make sure your kids get the whole grains and fiber you demand, and the great taste and fun they desire:
• Sneak It In: Add crushed whole-grain cereal to your kids' favorite foods like pancakes, cookies and muffins. Or, add extra beans to taco dips and chili for added fiber.
• Grains with Global Taste: Try whole-wheat pasta for Italian night and corn tortillas for your next fiesta.
• Grains on the Go: Start the day with a nutritious breakfast, rich in whole grains. When in a rush, a portable, fun snack like Toaster Pastries with One Serving of Whole Grain helps your kids get the whole grain and fiber they need while eating a favorite food.
• Fabulous Fruity Fiber: Stir up a fruit smoothie, or add fresh fruit to your kids' yogurt cups.
• Experiment: Introduce new grains like spelt and barley.
