Soft. Delicious. Nutritious. is their slogan and did you know that two slices of Wonder sandwich bread provide the Calcium of 8 Ounces of Milk and a good source of Vitamin D? Most Americans aren’t getting the calcium they need and I must admit- neither am I.
As a mom, it is my duty to provide my child with the nutrition he needs to grow and be healthy. But lets face it- there are so many factors that can lead to unhealthy eating habits in children: money, time and pickyness are a few that come to mind. So how can you balance a healthy lifestyle with your busy schedule, your picky eaters and your budget?
The US Department of Health and Human Services lets us know of three key facts to help lead a healthy lifestyle.
- Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products — and be sure to control portion sizes.
- Get physically active at least five times a week, for thirty minutes or more.
- Avoid tobacco and illegal drugs altogether.
Wonder has a long history of helping us lead a healthy lifestyle. They were one of the first national bread brands to feature nutritional information on its packaging and in the 1940′s Wonder was a pioneer in a government sponsored program to enrich breads with vitamins and minerals.
I was not aware of their early efforts to be healthier, but I do remember growing up with Wonder Bread. I specifically remember opening up the bread drawer to see those signature dots on the packaging. I grew up with four siblings, so we would have like five different packages at a time (Dots everywhere!) My family did try the new Classic White and Classic Sandwich Bread and you know what? It tasted like the same good ole’ Wonder bread. Thats awesome! Don’t you like deceiving your child? (Ha, I don’t mean it like that!) I mean, don’t you like it when you have a picky eater and then you sneak in something that is healthy for them, but it tastes good so they don’t notice?
Head to your local grocery store and look at the variety of Wonder products. There is something for everyone!

2 slices of classic white has as much calcium as an eight ounce glass of milk.
