Happy March, my friends! I can’t believe it’s March already, and we’re just a couple of weeks away from Spring. One thing that I love about this month (besides the warmer weather) is that it’s National Nutrition Month! And what better way to celebrate than by sharing some of my favorite new food finds with you all. My friends over at Babbleboxx were kind enough to send me a box of some delicious and nutritious goodies again this year, AND they have some great offers and discounts for you. So let’s get to it!

Action for Healthy Kids

Action for Healthy Kids (AFHK) isn’t a “food product”, but it is an amazing organization! AFHK is a nonprofit that brings together educators and families to create healthier schools and communities that support the physical and emotional health of children. Through grant funding, programmatic support, online resources, and a parent ambassador network, they make an impact in schools and communities that need it most.

I’m at a huge fan of this nonprofit because they emphasize how important it is to teach healthy habits at an early age. Whether it’s the food kids are eating, their physical activity levels, or their mental and emotional health, Action for Healthy Kids realizes how essential it is to provide tools to address each of these important pieces of overall health.

According to a national survey by AFHK, 76% of parents say they have improved their own habits based on something their child told them about health and well-being. This program creates a trickle down effect where it isn’t only helping the children who are learning about health and nutrition in school, but it’s helping their entire family making it even more impactful and important. You can take action for your kids by joining the movement at www.actionforhealthykids.org/take-action. If you commit to Take Action for Healthy Kids by March 31, 2020, you’ll be entered to win a healthy taste test kit to host a fun and tasty nutrition education activity for students at your child’s school (valued at $175). To enter, just visit www.actionforhealthykids.org/win and fill out the challenge registration form.
