Summer schedules can get busy across the North, but healthy eating does not have to be complicated.

 

Joanna Ledoux, community dietitian with the Northern Health Region, says summer is a good time to keep meals simple, especially with more fresh fruits and vegetables available and families spending more time camping, travelling, and enjoying the outdoors.

 

She says a little planning can make a big difference.

 

 

Ledoux says choosing convenience once in a while, like pre-cut fruit or veggie trays, can help families actually eat the healthy food they buy instead of letting it go to waste.
