• Students will participate in our weekly grocery shopping CBI.

• Once a week, students will have a CBI outing where they will have a meal at a restaurant.  

• Students must grocery shop or bring a lunch to Transition following the MyPlate guidelines.

What are the MyPlate recommendations?

• Plenty of colorful vegetables, legumes/beans.

• Fruit.

• Grain (cereal) foods – mostly wholegrain and high fiber varieties.

• Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts, and seeds.

• Milk, yogurt, cheese, or their alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

• Drink plenty of water.

MyPlate reminds us to:

• Choose variety: The best meals have a balance of items from different food groups.

• Make half of your plate vegetables and fruits.

• Make at least half of your grain servings whole grains.

• Drink fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk and water instead of soda, sports drinks, and other sugary drinks.

• Avoid large portions.

We encourage all of our young adults to drink water or sparkling water during the school day at Transition (No soda or pop).
