Green drinks don’t always have to be green. Kids are more likely to drink them when they are full of color Add your child’s favorite colored fruit to mask some of the vegetable taste. Try adding in some PediaSure US to add more protein and flavor (comes in lots of flavors even chocolate and strawberry)

Many students have started back to school / started virtual learning over the past few weeks. This can bring stress for everyone. Take a mental break this weekend, check in with family and friends, and trust we will all get through this #wearamask
