Encouraging kids to make healthier eating choices just got easier, more effective and a lot more fun for the whole family. Introducing the Rounded Plate, a 21-day program that teaches kids to choose healthy foods and track their daily eating habits in a fun and interactive way. Rounded Plate was created by Rachel Pollard, a mother of three who simply wanted to create a fun way for her kids to make healthy eating choices, resulting in healthier, lifelong habits.

Rounded Plate was founded on the belief that building healthy habits in kids takes practice. The positive approach to healthy eating focuses more about the food choices that parents want their children to eat more of, versus foods they should avoid. Rounded Plate program features daily tracking tools, informational guides about different types of foods and incentives for success and practice to actively engage children in their food choices.

Here's how the program works:

  • To start the Rounded Plate program, families first set individual goals to eat a certain number of vegetables, fruits and proteins each day. A food chart is provided to give ideas and inspiration for family food choices.
  • Throughout each day, kids and parents can track what healthy foods they have eaten with a daily coloring sheet.
  • The 21-day program uses incentives for when kids and parents meet their daily and weekly goals. Meaningful incentives can be family activities like a trip to the park or a small prize for saving bonus stickers. The entire family's progress is visibly tracked on a common Rounded Plate scoreboard.

For a limited time, Rounded Plate will be giving customers a $15 gift card to a grocery store of their choosing once they have completed the program.

"Before creating Rounded Plate, I remember feeling bogged down by all of the food I was trying not to feed my kids," said Pollard. "I created the program to empower my kids to make better food choices, and as a way to avoid the nagging and power struggles by giving them the responsibility to choose healthy food on their own."

Rounded Plate includes a Family Scoreboard, Large Daily Tracking Sheets, Small Daily Tracking Sheets, Bonus Stickers, Food Chart, Guidebook and washable markers. Rounded Plate retails for $29.95 and can be purchased online by visiting
