1 banana
1 piece 100% whole wheat toast

Toast the Bread. Spread the peanut butter on the toast. Slice the banana and add the slices on top of the bread. Drink with a glass of milk. This recipe is a well balanced meal because it is a combination of the protein, bread, and fruit food groups.

Wholly Whole Grains!!

Whole grain foods provide your body with many nutrients. At least half of your servings of grains for the day should be whole grains. However, choosing 100% whole grain products isn't always the easiest thing to do because of all the tricky marketing and product packaging. In order to ensure you are buying a product that is 100% whole grain follow these steps:

Do not go by the color of the food - there are many wheat products that are not whole grain
Read the ingredient list - if the first one or two ingredients is whole wheat, whole grain, etc - you have made a good choice
If you see the yellow stamp like postage sticker on a food (the stam is sponsored by the whole grains counsil) - good choice

Whole grains can now be found in cereals, breads, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, crackers, chips, and pasta. Remember that half of your grains should be whole grains- the benefits far outweight the time it takes to check the labels. For more information visit www.wholegrainscouncil.org
