Hi my name is Stephanie Smith, and I am a
graduate dietetic student here at Eastern Illinois University.
Today I'd like to talk to you about packing a healthy lunch.
To help me with that, I brought my own lunch box.
It's Hello Kitty, so I'm going to show you
what I've packed for today.
First I packed some carrots.
I love these individually wrapped bags because then I can
just grab it and go, and then I get a serving
of vegetables in my lunch.
Next I packed my favorite type of apple.
This is a honey crisp apple, then I
get a serving of fruit too.
Next, in here I have a cheese stick, these are my favorite.
It's mozzarella cheese, so there's my serving of dairy.
Last but not least, I have my favorite, this is my peanut
butter and jelly sandwich, and I keep it in this container so it
doesn't get smushed.
No one likes a smushed lunch.
And of course I always bring my water bottle too, so I always
get enough water throughout the day.
Important things about my lunch are the nutrient content because
I have lots of good nutrients in these
carrots, especially good for my eyes.
In the apple, there is a lot of antioxidants which are good for
my body to stay strong.
In my string cheese, I have calcium and potassium which is
good for my heart and for my bones.
And in my sandwich, I have whole grains which is good for my
heart and peanut butter, which is a protein which
makes my muscles strong.
So I'm excited to eat my lunch today, are you?
