Yellowknife Racquet Club

A new school year means busy mornings, packed lunches, homework and activities.

Good nutrition doesn't have to be complicated.

A few simple things to focus on:

🍳 Start with breakfast
Aim for protein + fibre to help keep kids full and energized. Think eggs and whole-grain toast, Greek yogurt and berries, or oatmeal with nut butter.

🥪 Build a balanced lunch
Try to include a protein, fruit or vegetables, a source of carbohydrates, and a healthy fat.

🍎 Keep snacks simple
Fruit + cheese, veggies + hummus, yogurt + berries, or nuts/seeds (if ok at school).

💧 Don't forget hydration
Water should be the go-to drink throughout the day.

🍽️ Think consistency, not perfection
Focus on offering nutritious foods regularly and creating a positive relationship with food.

And remember: kids don't need a "perfect" diet. They need enough food, variety, nourishment and the opportunity to learn healthy habits.

I like spending time on recipes...when I have the time. But, like many of you, I don't. Creating simple, healthy meals and snacks can still be flavourful and pack a nutritious punch.

Try this simple chickpea salad with a variety of additions to keep it interesting 🤸🏻

Ingredients (2–4 servings):

1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup cucumber, diced
1 cup tomatoes, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
2–3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Dressing:
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Pinch salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:
In a large bowl combine chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving for the flavors to blend.

Optional add-ins:
Crumbled feta cheese
Avocado slices
Chopped olives
