A well-balanced meal is crucial to living a healthy lifestyle. Support healthy living with a worksheet that focuses on the amount of sugar we find in our food. The packet begins with an overview, then goes into an activity in which scholars read and compare nutrition labels to choose the least amount of sugar. A smoothie recipe concludes the worksheet, as well as an activity that requires pupils to match food items to their proper food group.
