WIC families often ask questions about eating fish when pregnant and breastfeeding. I like to share information from the FDA about recommending serving sizes of fish based on mercury levels and discuss which types of fish are best to eat. I also enjoy discussing some key nutrients found in fish and how they can be beneficial to health. These nutrients may help to provide benefits in brain health, heart health, and cognitive development for babies during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

My name is Yahaira Cuevas-Nunez, and I have been with WIC for 7 months as a Nutritionist. My favorite tip to discuss with my WIC families is the importance of consuming Vitamin C throughout the day to help absorb Iron. Sources of vitamin C such as tomatoes, strawberries, kiwis, and mangos can be paired with various meals and eaten as snacks!

My name is Susannah Christians and I have been a WIC Nutritionist coming up on 6 years this May.

Did you know it can take up to 20 times of tasting a food before a child eats it on a regular basis? Picky eating is a common concern for a lot of parents when their child hits the toddler stage. During this stage, your toddler is developing preferences for specific foods and usually vegetables are at the bottom of that list. Don’t give up just yet!

Smoothies are a great way to incorporate all those “yucky, green vegetables” into their diet while being hidden underneath those yummy, sweet fruits. Here’s a recipe idea to try today!

- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 small banana (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup favorite fruit (fresh or frozen) such as berries, apples, kiwi, mango
- ½ cup vegetables (fresh or frozen) such as kale, spinach, frozen riced cauliflower, sweet potatoes or butternut squash

Blend until smooth, additional liquid can be added if it’s too thick!
Optional add – ins: 1 tablespoon nut butter or Greek yogurt for added protein, 2 tablespoons avocado for an added creamy texture!

**Hint: these items can be purchased with your WIC benefits today!

I'm Shantel Garrick and I have been with WIC for 6 years. My favorite nutrition tip to share with families is to prioritize water. Replace soda and juice with water to reduce added sugar and calories and add natural flavor by infusing it with fruit or adding lemon and mint especially when you’re craving something sweet.

I'm Jamie Ahonen, I have been a WIC nutritionist since January 2015.
One of my favorite healthy sweet treat ideas is turning yogurt into homemade popsicles or freezing yogurt tubes for a quick grab-and-go snack or dessert.

It’s a refreshing and fun way for kids to enjoy a cool treat without all the extra sugar.
