Hey Parents! 🚨 Struggling to get your little ones to eat healthfully? My children love YouTube – and don’t always love vegetables – so I started looking for nutrition education videos on YouTube that are accurate and age-appropriate. In this blog post, I’m sharing my favorite five with you! I know firsthand that as a parent, it can be challenging to get your kids to eat a well-balanced diet. Research has shown that children who are exposed to nutrition education at a young age are more likely to make healthier food choices – and make them on their own! Nutrition education boosts internal motivation to eat healthier, and that’s our end-goal, right? To raise happy, healthy, and independent eaters. Since kids these days are already on technology, let’s use technology in a positive way to expose them to fun educational videos that will teach them about nutrition and self-care skills.
I hope you enjoy these 5 dietitian approved YouTube videos to help kids learn about nutrition and healthy eating with a focus on MyPlate!

MyPlate for kids (and adults, too!) a visual representation of the five food groups that children can easily understand and remember. The five food groups are fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. Healthy Fats and Fun Foods are also part of a well-balanced diet (although not technically food groups). Learning about MyPlate and the five food groups is a great way to help your kids learn about nutrition and healthy eating. By teaching kids about MyPlate and the five food groups, they can start to make their own informed choices when it comes to their diet by learning how to create balanced meals that keep them healthy and energized. This can help them develop lifelong healthy eating habits and a positive relationship with food.
MyPlate also offers a variety of wonderful, free resources for kids, including handouts, games, and a customizable MyPlate plan that you can print out and share with your child.
This YouTube video is a great introduction to MyPlate for kids. Miss Lisa explains each food group in a fun and easy-to-understand way, using colorful visuals and real-life examples. Kids will learn about the importance of each food group and how to make healthy food choices. Have fun learning about health with Miss Lisa!
