CHOICES

CHOICES is a Nutrition Education Initiative program with CHNCT and the CT Department of Public Health. Our mission is to provide high-quality, culturally appropriate nutrition and health education for children and adults through professional partnerships that function to increase health behaviors, resulting in positive life style changes for participants. We have created a sustainable program that encourages and promotes the integration of healthy nutrition choices into the daily lives of participants - leading to long term, healthy outcomes.

arrow Featured Recipe from Captain 5 A Day

Summer is finally here, and with it comes many delicious and colorful fruits and vegetables for us to eat!  The CHOICES program at CHNCT is a good reminder for all of us that summer can be a season of eating lighter and moving more.

Our partner Captain 5 A Day makes a great watermelon gazpacho. The watermelon mixes with many other colorful vegetables for a cold summer "soup" that is delicious and very refreshing.
