Family Features
School days bring excitement for students
with classroom fun, exploration of new subjects,
time with friends and extracurricular
activities like sports and clubs. They also mean
hectic schedules for families, especially parents
looking to keep nutrition top of mind in spite of
jam-packed weeknight calendars.
Help your kiddos stay energized for each school
day (including those dreaded homework hours)
with nutritious snacks that prioritize hydration.
As a satisfying sweet treat thanks to its taste and
nutritional value, watermelon provides a yearround
solution to rehydrate as part of simple,
kid-friendly meals and snacks.
Sweet watermelon, salty cottage cheese and pops
of berries make this Watermelon Berry Fruit Salad
with Cottage Cheese hard to top after a long
day in the classroom. A sprinkle of fresh mint is
a perfect final addition to this after-school treat.
Or for an easy, fast, no-mess meal that can be
prepared for homework sessions or taken as a
lunchbox treat, look no further than Watermelon
Kebabs. Just cube watermelon, turkey breast and
cheddar cheese and thread on coffee stirrers or
beverage straws then share with your loved ones
while tackling dinner and prepping for the next
day of learning.
Any way you slice it, watermelon is a nutrient
dense food you can feel confident stocking in
your kitchen and feeding to your family. It provides
21 grams (8% of the recommended daily
value) of natural carbohydrates and is especially
energizing when paired with protein like cottage
cheese or turkey for a balanced snack.
Plus, with just 80 calories in two cups, it's a
high-volume food that can fill you up at mealtime.
Once you've enjoyed the delicious watermelon
flesh, make sure to avoid waste by using the
rind in recipes like stir fries or salads, or encourage
little ones to get creative with watermelon
rind crafts to let their creativity shine.
