Joy Bauer is one of the nation’s leading health authorities, and her name definitely suits her. She is the nutrition and healthy lifestyle expert for the TODAY show and the host of NBC’s Health + Happiness, and I got a chance to talk to her about one of my own parenting challenges: kids and food. In the interview below, Joy offers up tips for healthy eating (hint: protein is key) and how to navigate the grocery store with kids. Her tips are invaluable! Check out the full interview.

Bethany Braun-Silva:
Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Breakdown with Bethany. I'm Bethany Braun-Silva and today my guest is Joy Bauer. You've probably seen Joy on The Today Show where she's doling out tips and tricks on how to stay healthy. We're going to be talking about sending kids back to school and all the meal prep that goes with it. She's also going to be sharing some healthy, easy meal recipes for parents and also telling us how we can navigate the supermarket stress-free. So stay tuned.
All right, well, Joy, first of all I have to say I'm such a fan. I love your segments on The Today Show. I am constantly just trying to keep up with you, sort of aspire to all your healthy tips and tricks. But I am a mom of two so sometimes that is incredibly hard, especially as we're gearing up to head back to school. One of the things that sends me into a spiral is having to prepare meals for two kids and I know you have some tips for that. So what do you have to say about meal-prepping as we head back to school?

Joy Bauer: Well so many people share the chaos of exactly what you described. And my kids are older right now. So I have three kids but oh boy, I vividly remember those hairy, scary moments like in the morning. Also, what are you going to make for dinner sort of thing. And I think the number one solution that is so incredibly helpful is to preplan. So I'm just going to put that out there. And I know people are probably thinking, oh my God, another thing to put on the to-do list but I'm telling you, if you get ahead of it, it just makes life that much more simpler and seamless and it's going to be a game-changer for you for sure...
