On Tuesday,April 10th<\/sup> 2012,au pairs representing more than 10 countries came together to learn about healthy food and snack choices at their local WholeFoods store in Clarendon.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows the importance food has on our body and for those young women who come from different parts of the world, our grocery stores can be a bit overwhelming,to say the least. So we wanted to give them an opportunity to look beyond the Mac\u201dn\u2019Cheese or Peanut butter and jelly sandwich many of our kids have for lunch or snack and introduce them to new ideas.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our 2 hosts at WholeFoods in Clarendon,Brenna and Jaquie, and their community outreach program,au pairs from Au Pair in America tasted various snacks and learned some tips on how to shop smart while buying fresh and healthy products and still staying on a budget.They also left with wonderful recipes to share with their host families and the kids they are in charge of.<\/p>\n

Brenna and Jaquie made the au pairs aware of the many possibilities they have to help kids eat better food.They pointed out the danger of too much fat and sugar in some pre-made snacks and gave them some ideas on how to replace them with \u201cmade from scratch\u201d products. We don\u2019t know of any parent who would object to having their child eat or at least try healthier food.<\/p>\n
