Better Living for Texans

Better Living for Texans (BLT) is a nutrition education program for adults and children that are SNAP participants and SNAP eligible. The BLT program helps people make healthy meals, improve their physical fitness, save money at the grocery store, grow their own foods, and adopt better food safety habits.

Why BLT?

Statistics show that 1 out of every 6 Texans struggle with food insecurity and hunger and eat less than the daily recommended allowance of fruits and vegetables. In addition, Texas children and adults are less physically active than recommended.

What does BLT do?

BLT helps families make better choices with their limited resources. To do so, we provide research-based nutrition programs that are cost-free and close to home.

BLT programs will help participants:

  • Increase fruit and vegetable consumption
  • Make healthy menu choices
  • Save money at the grocery store
  • Learn about My Plate
  • Increase physical activity in adults and children
