MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It’s back to school for a lot of kids, and it’s important to make sure they’re eating healthy away from the home.
Natalie Kane talked with chef Jeff Cruz from Life Cafe at Life Time Fitness for quick and healthy meal ideas.
Cruz said the key is to balance protein, healthy fats, and carbs with fruits and veggies.
Cruz demonstrated how to make healthy hummus wraps to for a light, healthy lunch, using tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach and feta cheese. Cruz said you can always use chicken breast for kids who don’t like hummus.
