Healthy Behaviors for Hartford Students
Mindful Bites
Let’s practice mindful bites!
Use your five senses as you try some food:
See: What do you notice? What color is it? What shape is it?
Feel: What does it feel like? Soft or hard? Squishy or rough?
Hear: Does it make any sounds? What if you squeeze it between your fingers?
Smell: What does it smell like? Do you like the smell?
Taste: Close your eyes and taste the food. Before you chew, what is the first thing you taste? Is sweet or salty? Sour or savory? Chew slowly and think about the change in flavor, texture and sounds. Does it change the longer you chew?
