"I look forward to seeing the Eat Smart Nutritionist at these events. Since I saw ESNY educators I have been buying better snacks for my family and we have been more active. I have lost 15 pounds have more energy to spend time with my children, and my kids are more involved in choosing the foods they like to eat."

"We visited the recipe taste testing table during parent pick up. We received the recipe and some tips on how the children can help make the dressing. The children loved it so much, they asked their parents to make the recipes at home."

"Thanks to this program, I have changed my diet. I don’t drink energy or fruit-flavored drinks anymore. I drink water now, eat a more balanced diet and leave junk food out of my breakfast, lunch and dinner."

"I really enjoyed learning about how to make healthy snacks for my children. I have a tough time with them eating fruits and vegetables. I am glad I came today because I know what I can do to make their snacks healthier. I really enjoyed the yogurt parfait as well and I’m going to go buy the ingredient to make this recipe at home."
