| If your kid has ever wandered into the house with a bag of fast food and a mega-sized slushy, you may not be surprised to hear this: Teenagers officially have the lowest diet quality of any age group. Teen girls are at risk for not getting enough protein. Teen boys fall short on a few nutrients too. As you know, I try to teach my kids balance. I don't forbid certain foods. And I don't warn my kids about "toxic" ingredients or "dangerous chemicals" in foods. Not a fan of fear-mongering. But I also want my kids to get what they need. As anyone knows who has bought three different sizes of sneakers in one year... Or watched your child transform from a little kid to a full-blown teenager within a few months... Teens experience a ton of growth and change. And that all requires good fuel. Way more than a slushy can provide. Brand new on Real Mom Nutrition this week: 10 foods that are especially awesome for teens. Because they contain the nutrients that teenagers need more of. For each one, I give lots of recipe and serving ideas. And needless to say, these foods are great for ALL kids! Tap the button below to see the full list and get all the serving ideas and recipes.
What We're EatingSunday: Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers w/ mashed potatoes (made with college son by request after he saw it on TikTok) Monday: Sausage Pasta (recipe testing, and it wasn't great, so back to the drawing board...) Tuesday: Sweet Potato Beef Taco Skillet (trying this for the first time) Wednesday: Lemon Chicken (recipe testing) Thursday: Sally out/guys fend for themselves (aka: order wings) Friday: Homemade Pan Pizza Saturday: Out for son's birthday What I'm ReadingLying on the Floor Makes You Feel Less Overwhelmed I knew it! I need to do this more often. Is Penelope Settling? Jennifer Weiner, as usual, makes a pretty good case here. (Be warned: Bridgerton Season 3 spoiler included.) Have a great week, Sally ps: If you know someone who would love this message, please tap FORWARD and send it to them. pps: If you received this email as a forwarded message, you can subscribe right here.
