Denny's has expanded the "Better for You" items available on its kids' menu.

The new items, developed with kids' input, include Tumbling Vanilla (vanilla yogurt with strawberry topping), "High Diving Veggies" (carrots, celery and cucumber), Apple Dunkers, Jell-O, "Spaghetti, Set, Go!" (spaghetti with marinara sauce) and pudding.

Denny's also eliminated several items from the previous kid's menu, including Big Dipper French-Toastix (French toast sticks), hot dogs and "D-Fusion" sugar beverage packets.

The restaurant chain launched its "Better for You" campaign in June.--Karlene Lukovitz
