Teach Your Kids to Eat Healthy with Honeybells

Honeybells are the perfect tool to use to teach your kids to eat healthy. Studies have shown that the eating habits kids learn when they’re young will stay with them forever, and whether or not they eat healthy as adults depends largely on whether or not they were taught how to eat healthy as kids. Even if they grow up and study nutrition they will always be affected by the dietary habits they learned as children. Are you teaching your kids to snack healthy, or are you letting them eat chips, cookies and other unhealthy snacks because they are convenient? If you are, you need to change the way you approach snacking.

Fresh Honeybells, grapefruit and other seasonal citrus fruit can be affordable for almost any budget. Buy a box of mixed grapefruit, oranges and Honeybells and you will save money by buying in bulk. You will get enough of each different variety of fruit to be able to sample them all without getting bored and they can last for a long time when stored properly. If you think you can’t afford to buy in bulk try signing up for a monthly fruit club, or get a group of other parents together and share the cost of the fruit. You’ll find that if you compare the cost of the fresh fruit with the cost of prepared cakes, cookies and chips fruit is actually cheaper. And of course you already know that fruit is much healthier for your kids.

Honeybells and other citrus fruits are also totally portable. Wrapped in their own rinds they are ready to go with your kids anywhere. They are easy to eat and easy to dispose of. Even small children can easily peel navel oranges or tangerines. You can keep some in the car, put some in their school bags or lunches, and keep some on the table at home for easy snacking.

Honeybells are also delicious. Kids who like sweets will love the deeply sweet taste of the Honeybell and Honeybell juice. To them it will taste as good as candy, but because it’s healthy the more they eat the more the benefits they get. Healthy Honeybells have around 80 calories per piece of fruit compared to the hundreds of calories in cookies and candy. Plus, Honeybell oranges have fiber that will help kids feel full until their next feel. Teach your kids that healthy food can be delicious and they will eat healthy for the rest of their lives.
