In June 2008, Alberta Health & Wellness released the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth (The Guidelines). The purpose of The Guidelines is to help promote healthy eating habits for children and youth in childcare settings, schools and recreation centers. This ensures that children and youth will be able to make healthy food choices in places where they live, learn and play.
The Single Serving Packaged Food List (The List) has been created to assist schools and recreation centres in implementing The Guidelines. The foods included in The List are packaged products available in the marketplace that meet the ‘Choose Most Often’ and ‘Choose Sometimes’ criteria as listed in The Guidelines. mySmoothie is a “Choose Most” beverage for Alberta schools.
