Cut back on your kid’s sweet treats. Limit the amount of foods and beverages with added sugars your kids eat and drink. If you don’t buy them, your kids won’t get them very often. Sweet treats and sugary drinks have a lot of calories but few nutrients. Most added sugars come from sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, juice drinks, cakes cookies, ice cream, candy and other desserts. For more tips on eating healthy visit ChooseMyPlate.gov.
