By now, many of us have probably failed to stick to our New Year’s Resolution. It might have been because you tried to make too big of a change. Changing your eating habits and improving the quality of your diet doesn’t have to be overnight, it can be a gradual change that helps keep you motivated. Kelsey Bentlage, Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Educator with the St. Louis Dairy Council, says she has fallen off her New Year’s Goals too. Bentlage says Spring is just as good of a time to focus on your health and wellness.

Just because you are eating cleaner and consuming less calories, doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun with food.

You have always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Bentlage backs that age old saying fully. Bentlage gives simple tips on how to pack more nutrients into the meals you have in the morning and throughout the day.

It can be difficult to try and get your picky eaters to expand their palate. Bentlage believes consistency in presenting them new foods is a good place to start.
