How to Choose the Best Bread for Your Kids
Kids’ lunches have come a long way (bentos, wraps) but sometimes only an old-fashioned sandwich will do. However, picking bread just isn’t as easy as it used to be—the racks at grocery stores are stacked high with options. But does choosing between white, whole-wheat and whole-grain bread make that much of a difference? Absolutely, says Toronto-based registered dietitian Jodi Robinson. “Canada’s Food Guide recommends at least half of all grain choices each day are whole grain. Whole grains can help kids have a steady energy level and maintain a healthy weight.”
