Super Healthy Kids makes mealtime fun AND healthy!
April 24th, 2008
With childhood obesity on the rise I’m glad there’s someone like Amy Roskelley, a stay-at-home mom who is helping educate children about healthy eating habits through her company Super Healthy Kids. How has she made mealtime fun AND healthy? With her fabulous Healthy Habits Plate.
Roskelley is a mother of three with a degree in Health Education and eight years experience working for the Utah Health Department, so she’s definitely someone you want on your side when trying to teach your children that eating healthy is as easy as 1-2-3. And when I say 1-2-3 I’m talking about her new Healthy Habits Plate, which has three sections: fruits and vegetables, breads and grains, and meat and dairy. Each section is sized according to the correct portions and has colorful pictures of the foods belonging in that part of the plate.
We now have a Healthy Habits Plate and it is everyone’s favorite! I love that by using it often my kids will learn–by habit–the correct portion sizes for mealtime. They can even dish up their own meal (with a little help from Mom, of course). The only thing I don’t like is we have only one Healthy Habits Plate…and four kids. The odds are not in Mom’s favor. If you look at the plate closely you’ll see about half of the meal is made up of fruits and veggies, and that’s just how it should be!
Entice your children to eat healthy and pick up a Healthy Habits Plate for everyone in your family. At less than $6 it’s an affordable investment in your child’s health. Super Healthy Kids also has some great tips and ideas for incorporating more fruits, vegetables, protein and grains in your children’s diet. By the way, I think Roskelley ought to come up with an adult-size plate. Even at 30-something my portion control could use a little help (and I should probably finally learn dessert is not a requirement at every meal). –Emily

Love fresh green beans, raw and straight from the garden. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are favorites here too!
April 25th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Blueberries are my favorite fruit! My 15 month-old would love this plate and it would help ensure she grows up with healthy food habits!
Thanks!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I think I’d have to say grapes are my favorite fruit, though I like several!
April 25th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I would go with steamed asparagus, broccoli, or brussel sprouts… can’t believe I’m actually admitting to liking those. I hated them as a kid! I didn’t realize a meal should consist of more veggies than the meat, I’ve been doing it wrong all this time. It helps to actually have a visual to help keep you in check.
Thanks!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:15 am
For the last few weeks, i’ve been eating a ton of tangerines. I’m 6.5 months pregnant so I guess you could say it’s the baby’s favorite fruit!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:30 am
I love a delicious peach in summer - that’s my favorite. Thanks!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:52 am

Since I am a vegetarian, there are many vegetables and fruits that I eat.
Artichokes are my favorite. I like them steamed and artichoke hearts in
my salads. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi
April 25th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Mushrooms are my favorite vegetable, but squash is a close second. If we’re talking abot veggies slathered in sauce, though, that would be broccoli. Raspberries are probably my favorite fruits. Actually, raspberries are probably my favorite food.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

Oh this looks great! Is there an adult sized one I can use for my husand?!
April 26th, 2008 at 7:13 am
whoops - got too excited and forgot to type that my all-time favorite fruit is an apple. It may not be the most glamourous, the best tasting, or the absolute healthiest, but it’s a workhorse! Almost everyone likes apples, they stay good for days/weeks (strawberries? Yummy, but can go bad in HOURS!), they travel easily without hardly bruising, they bake well, etc. etc., They’re awesome and we buy at least a dozen a week (for 2 1/2 of us!)
April 26th, 2008 at 7:30 am
I love strawberries. I especially like to smash them up and put them over biscuits. Yummy!
April 26th, 2008 at 8:09 am
Broccoli is definitely my favorite vegetable, especially with garlic.
April 26th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I love kiwis. I want one right now actually! And strawberries, but not as much as when I was pregnant. This is the coolest plate!
April 26th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Potatoes. I eat them all the time.
April 26th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Our family favorites are: broccoli and mangos!!!
April 26th, 2008 at 11:04 am
we all love asparagus and mangos here!
April 26th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Favorite would have to be canteloupe. This plate is such a good idea!
April 26th, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Asparagus is my fave vegetable or green beans…that’s a toughie. Favorite fruit is a toss-up between cantoloupe and oranges. These plates are great!
April 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Some of our family favourites are carrots, spinach, strawberries, and pears. I never have a problem getting any of the kids (hubs included!) to scarf those down.
April 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I absolutely love avacodos. I could eat them on or with just about anything. And in my book they count as a fruit AND a vegetable, since they’re green but have a pit.
April 27th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Avacados, asparagus, brocoli (ok, none of those are spelled right, but they taste amazing).
Can you really pick one favorite?
April 27th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Strawberries, hands down!
April 27th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Spinach … =^.^=
April 27th, 2008 at 9:21 pm

April 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
My favorite veggie is snow peas (I think those are the right ones…I always get snow and snap mixed up). My favorite fruit is pineapple (has to be fresh not canned though).
April 29th, 2008 at 5:55 am

April 29th, 2008 at 6:10 am
I love almost all fruit. But, my new favorite veggie is asparagus. I’ve never eaten it before and 2 weeks ago I boiled some quickly in water for about 2-3 minutes. They were delicious! No one else in my family cares for it. I’ve managed to eat 3 pounds of it in 2 weeks and I have more in my fridge to cook on Friday if I can wait that long.
