80-20 on a Stick

September 23, 2015 By Patricia Chuey

Today, the grandparents showed up with a pack of chocolate-covered marshmallows for the barnebarn (grandchild, in Danish.) It’s a thing grandparents specialize in…sweet-treats for the kids.

Before you have another occasion to feel frustrated with all of the sugar available for kids in every season of the year, turn that frown upside down!

Grab some skewers and intersperse the treat with some fresh, colourful fruit. Even small chunks of cheese, steamed veggies, ham or chicken work. The focus becomes the fun of eating off a sharp, pokey object and a mix of mostly good, with a little treat gets eaten.

Cheers!

Patricia came back to Intrawest for a return engagement as a guest of our Health & Safety Committee, and was just as great the second time around! Not only is she funny and engaging, but she also has an amazing ability to be a teacher, not a preacher. Her easy-to-remember, common sense approach to nutrition… Read more “Jeff Bohnen”

This was the BEST lunch and learn I have ever been to. Informative, not lecturing like this topic can sometimes be. Patricia was a very effective presenter and I found it incredibly beneficial to me. She was fantastic; informative, funny and interesting!
