Low Glycemic Carbohydrates

We had a great talk last night at the Picky Eaters Class at North Scottsdale Pediatrics. You parents really are amazing!

Here is list of low glycemic carbohydrates to serve with protein in the morning to get your children off to a healthy start. Combing two ounces of protein with one serving of complex carbohydrates is just what your kids need to study and thrive in school all day. Add a few slices of Asian Pear or 1/2 cup fresh berries to the plate. Happy eating for health and wellness!
