Kids Will Enjoy Eating Healthy with “Sun Power”It can be difficult while on vacation to find healthy menu alternatives for kids. Thankfully, the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa thought up a “sun-powered” menu that is a healthy and delicious alternative to the typical hotel children’s menu. The new Sun Power Kids Menu puts a kid’s spin on some of today’s most popular dishes and foods, and uses only fresh, natural and low-fat ingredients.
The menu is themed around the sun because of the critical role the sun plays in our health – all of the energy available to our bodies comes from the sun and is stored in the foods we eat – as well as because of the abundance of sun enjoyed in Phoenix throughout the year. The legendary Arizona Biltmore, known as the “Jewel of the Desert” and renowned for its Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design, is nestled on 39 acres at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Facilities include 738 guest accommodations; eight swimming pools; seven tennis courts; full-service Spa, Salon and Fitness Center; two 18-hole PGA golf courses, and an 18-hole putting course.
