At WIC, we know how important it is to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your family’s diet! Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help the growth of your littles. 💪Luckily, there are so many creative ways of incorporating fruits and veggies into your meals! Here are a few tips to easily include fruits and vegetables in your little one’s diet.

🍇Keep fruit and veggie snacks easily accessible. Keep a bowl of washed grapes or baby carrots in the fridge for kids to grab when they're hungry!
🍕Use fruits and veggies as toppings for kid-friendly dishes like pizza, pasta, or yogurt parfaits.
🍝Sneak veggies into favorite dishes! Try blending them into smoothies, sauces, or batter.

¡Celebramos! Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! 🎉🌎

From September 15 to October 15, we honor the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across the United States. At WIC, we are proud to serve and celebrate our diverse families every day!

🌽 Corn (maíz) – a staple rich in fiber
🫘 Beans (frijoles) – packed with protein and iron
🍚 Brown Rice (arroz) – a versatile whole grain option
🥑 Avocados (aguacates) – full of healthy fats
🍌 Plantains (plátanos) – a great source of vitamins A and C

Talk to your WIC nutritionist about how to include your favorite cultural foods in your WIC shopping. Visit www.signupwic.com to get started.
