Summary: This may sound counter intuitive, but studies show that kids tend to gain weight faster during the lazy days of summer than they do during the school year. The lack of structure kids experience when school lets out can lead to excessive nibbling and noshing throughout the day. To share her best tips for smart summer snacking for kids and their parents, friend and fellow dietitian, Ellie Krieger, joins us on this week's show. She also serves up one of her newest recipes for Frozen Grape and Banana Skewers with Chocolate Drizzle. Tune in for Ellie’s in-the-trenches advice (she's the mom of a nine-year old) and for info on how you can win a copy of her recent cookbook, Comfort Food Fix.
