Are Grapes Healthy? You Bet!

As your kids navigate their back-to-school routines and extracurricular activities, it’s incredibly important to talk to your kids about healthy food choices.

Smart food choices are  essential to keeping everyone energized and engaged. 

Tip: When it comes to selecting snacks and preparing meals, keep it simple and stock up on foods that are easy to prep and can be used in more than one way.

I even use our food saver – so I make a bunch ahead of time and then pull them from the freezer when we need them.

Fresh California grapes are a terrific option because they are abundant throughout the fall and well into January.

Crisp, juicy grapes can be eaten nearly anytime and anywhere, including school, the office and during after-school activities, at home or away.

Whether eaten fresh or frozen for a cool treat, grapes are a healthy, hydrating alternative to highly processed and calorie-rich foods.

Grapes can also be used as an ingredient in easy weeknight meals like California-Style Pizza, cousin to Hawaiian pizza, where fresh grapes star instead of pineapple and prepared pizza dough gives the cook a head start.

Yogurt-Dipped Frozen Grapes are an easy, fun snack or dessert that kids can help prepare.
