SNACK SMARTER
Pair fresh fruit and vegies with

fruit and yoghurt, or vegie sticks and tzatziki.
When packing school lunches, use the pictorial guide above to help ensure your child is eating from each of the five food groups every day.
Choose snacks with 4 or more Health Stars. To refuel active kids, try UNCLE TOBYS® Chewy and Yoghurt Muesli Bars. They are 50% wholegrain and a source of fibre.
