🐟 Canned Fish: A WIC-Friendly Nutrition Powerhouse!
Canned fish like tuna, salmon, sardines, and mackerel are excellent sources of protein, iron, and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Because they’re fully cooked and shelf-stable, they’re perfect for creating quick, nutritious meals with minimal prep.
✨ As an example, we’re sharing a Tuna Rice Triangle (Onigiri, or Omusubi)—a popular Japanese rice ball made with tuna and rice that is simple, portable, delicious, and packed with nutrition.
📲 Be sure to check your USDA WIC Works Resource System or your state’s WIC app (such as EasyWIC) to see your specific food benefits and monthly allowance.
💡 Easy Meal Ideas
🥗 Quick Salad Topper
Mix drained tuna with plain yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped celery or onions.
🍞 Crackers & Toast
Mash sardines or salmon with a little olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then spread on whole-wheat crackers or toast.
🥒 Mediterranean Bowl
Combine tuna with artichoke hearts, capers, parsley, and olive oil. Serve over greens or cucumber slices.
🧀 Tuna Melt
Top whole-wheat bread with tuna salad, tomato, and low-fat cheese. Bake until warm and bubbly.
🍔 Salmon Patties
Use canned salmon instead of ground meat for patties or meatballs. Serve with rice and vegetables.
🍝 Quick Pasta Meal
Add flaked salmon or mackerel to pasta with peas and herbs for an easy, complete dinner.

Good nutrition is the foundation of healthy families and stronger communities. 💚
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children plays a vital role in supporting mothers, babies, and young children by providing access to nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, health education, and essential resources for healthy growth and development.
Through the power of nutrition, we can help prevent chronic disease, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and give every child a healthier start in life.
Every healthy meal, every educational session, and every act of support makes a difference. 🌎🍎🥦

Summer flavors, but make it nourishing 🌿☀️
Think hydration, fiber, and natural sweetness working together this season. Blend refreshing smoothies that support digestion and skin health, toss together colorful bowls packed with antioxidants, or build light meals that keep you energized without feeling heavy.
Grill for extra depth without losing nutrients, snack on fresh combinations that balance natural sugars with protein, and lean into water-rich foods to stay cool and hydrated as temperatures rise.
Eating with the season isn’t just about taste—it’s about giving your body exactly what it needs right now 💚
What’s your go-to way to feel nourished in the summer? ✨

Breastfeeding isn’t just nourishment — it’s connection, comfort, and healing 🤍
In those first moments after delivery, your baby already knows you. Skin-to-skin contact and early feeding help regulate their temperature, heartbeat, and breathing while strengthening your bond.
✨ Benefits of breastfeeding:
• Provides the perfect nutrition tailored to your baby
• Boosts immunity and protects against infections
• Supports healthy growth and brain development
• Helps your body recover after birth
• Encourages emotional bonding and security
Finding the right position can make all the difference — take your time, follow your baby’s cues, and don’t be afraid to adjust until it feels right for both of you 🤱
Every journey is unique, and every drop counts # 💛 PostpartumCare BreastfeedingSupport
