Kristen Smith, RD

Exciting for #NNMchat on #RDNday! Coming from #Atlanta today!

A5 - To help reduce food waste, survey the foods you have on stock and then make a meal plan for the week accordingly. Don't be afraid to repeat ingredients throughout the week! #KERchat #kidseatright

A4 - Family meals help parents lead by example and allow families time to bond. Helps with picky eating and often promotes increased fruit and vegetable intake! #kerchat #kidseatright

We may not be the best dancers, but agree this is a fun way to get the family moving #kerchat #KidsEatRight

A3 - Make walking, riding bikes or scooters together a family event to stay active during #COVID. This Mama got a scooter to ride along with my kiddos! #kerchat

A2 - COVID has allowed us to eat lots of family meals together! Kids are more likely to eat more balanced meals. Also helpful for #pickyeaters #kerchat

A1 - I like to promote the 3W's - wash your hands, wear a mask, and watch your distance (6 feet apart) #kerchat @kidseatright

Couldn't agree more with my colleague - Best diet plans include lifestyle changes, dietitians say sbne.ws/r/zG1f

A3: If you’re packing lunch for kiddos you can never go wrong with PB Sandwich, but to spice things up try quesadillas, deli meat roll-ups, hummus, fruit kebabs #NNMchat #NationalNutritionMonth

#NNMchat Q2: This RD disliked most vegetables growing up – but now I know they can be prepared in creative and delicious ways #NNMchat #NationalNutritionMonth

#NNMchat Q1: Leading by example is one way we encourage healthy habits for our little one – we include a fruit or vegetable with every meal #NationalNutritionMonth
