Feel like you’re not reaching Latino clients because your nutrition resources don’t cater to Latin foods and meal patterns? At best, traditional nutrition education asks Latinos to do more work to apply this advice to their own diets. At worst, conventional nutrition education can create feelings of shame around traditional Latin foods and lead clients to believe they have to choose between their health and their culture.
The Balanced Latin Plate Guide uses Latin foods and ingredients to teach the Plate Method, and answers common nutrition questions that apply to Latin food.
The guide includes:
- Visual guide to portions using Plate Method
- Focus on Latin ingredients and foods such as plantains, beans, tropical fruits, etc.
- Answers frequently asked questions about Latin diets, such as use of mixed dishes and fats
- Customizable to meal preferences and energy requirements
Basic version is for general health and wellness purposes, and teaching balanced nutrition.

Balanced Latin Plate
Great handout with nice graphics and lists of traditional foods in each category. I like the mixed dish example of how to compare it to the Plate.
My own concern is with the approach to Fat recommendations. There is an emphasis on including fats at each meal, but no mention as to which are healthier options. Lard, butter and cream are mentioned a couple times as if they are the norm/healthy options.
