March for better nutrition
March kicks off National Nutrition Month, which means it’s time to make healthier food choices, embrace better eating habits, and have some fun along the way. Dallas ISD Benefits Department has exciting challenges and resources lined up to support team members on their nutrition journey.
Themed week challenges:
This month, we’re mixing things up with some fun and engaging weekly challenges to inspire healthier habits. Each week, we’ll focus on a different theme:
- Colorful Plates Week: Add a pop of color to our meals with vibrant, nutrient-packed fruits and vegetables.
- Hydration Nation Week: Challenge yourself to drink more water and stay refreshed.
- Snack Swap Week: Make healthier snack choices by swapping out those chips for some delicious, wholesome alternatives.
- Fuel Up with Whole Grains Week: Power up with whole grains to keep you energized throughout the day.
The Digital Cookbook:
Check out our Digital Cookbook, available on the Benefits webpage, where you can explore tons of nutritious meal ideas. Employees can contribute to the cookbook. Share your favorite healthy recipes for family dinners, snacks, or lunch, and help inspire others to make good-for-you choices at home. Recipes should focus on healthy and nutritious ingredients.
How to submit your recipe:
- Choose your recipe: it can be a meal, snack, or smoothie
