National Nutrition Month: Eating Healthy on a Budget

March 2, 2023

In partnership with Texas Children’s Workforce Well-Being team, the Clinical Nutrition Services and Food and Nutrition Services departments will be providing education and sponsoring several exciting events throughout the month of March to showcase ways to nurture your body while shopping on a budget.

Celebrating National Nutrition Month at Texas Children’s

Food prices are on the rise, but nourishing foods are still ultimately more cost effective. Now is a great time to pick up or brush off those smart-shopping and meal-planning skills. Use the Grocery Shopping Guide and Meal Cost Comparison Breakdown in the Nutrition Toolkit to kick off the month strong. Be sure to also register for the webinar on Navigating the Grocery Store, hosted by Registered Dietitian, Staci Tobolowsky Astrein.

Week 1: Meal Planning
Week 2: Resourceful Grocery Shopping
Week 3: Learn How to Cook Healthy Meals
Week 4: Taste

We encourage you to attend the webinar and the sponsored events each week so you can take these skills and cook at least one healthy and low-cost meal this month. For each healthy meal you prepare and share, email the recipe to Wellbeing@texaschildrens.org to be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a Ninja Blender.
