Celebrate National Nutrition Month® with MyPlate
Here at MyPlate we celebrate nutrition every day, but during the month of March we are especially excited to participate in National Nutrition Month®! For the next couple of weeks, we will be hosting activities, sharing resources and more! This year's National Nutrition Month® theme is "Celebrate a World of Flavors," and as part of the celebration, we're inviting you to share your cultural plates and meals. What foods, flavors, and recipes are you, your friends, or your family known for? Use the hashtag #CelebrateMyPlate to show us your plates on social media and let's celebrate a "world of flavors" together! Need some #CelebrateMyPlate inspiration? Here are a few examples from MyPlate staff:
"Bean soup is home for me and a staple in most Latin American countries, including Colombia where I'm from. I love beans because they are not only rich in flavor, but they are also a great source of fiber and protein." - Jo, MyPlate Nutritionist "A stew of lentils, rice, veggies, and a dollop of yogurt is a regular meal from our Greek heritage that we have pretty often." - Corey, MyPlate Nutritionist "Making jiao zi, Chinese dumplings, brings back fun memories of "helping" my mom fold dumplings for family meals. These are su jiao, vegetable dumplings – delicious steamed and served with a black vinegar-ginger dipping sauce!" - Stephenie, Senior Policy Advisor
Join in on the celebration by visiting our National Nutrition Month® landing page and following us on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date on what's happening.
