Healthy Desserts

As many of you know, I work full-time as pr manager for Produce for Kids. With every new campaign, our chef and RD work together to create new meals. Our Ideal Meals online database is full of healthy (yet tasty) easy breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner options for busy parents (like myself).

My time with Produce for Kids has completely changed the way I view food and prepare food for my family. I’ve always been a healthy eater, but I have more of a method behind my madness these days.

Check out this clip of Mia and I creating Healthy Snacks on Galtime Orlando. These are just two of our new Ideal Meals healthy desserts!

Look for the Produce for Kids display in select grocery stores nationwide through July and help local children’s hospitals! For my local readers, the Publix campaign runs through June 28.
