Nutritionists suggest that eating multiple small, healthy meals throughout the day is better for your body than three square meals, so snacks are an important part of your child’s nutrition. Processed snacks from the food store tend to have a lot of unnecessary fillers, high sugar or sodium levels, or are high in fat and calories. Get some piece of mind and take full control of what your little one eats by making your own healthy snacks. Here are some great ideas:
- Bean and Cheese Quesadillas
- Baked Sweet Potato Fries
- Fruity Cream Cheese Spread on Graham Crackers
- Whole Wheat Pita and Hummus
- Almond Apple Peanut Butter Dippers
- Baked Cinnamon Apple Crisps
- Frozen Oatmeal Banana Yogurt Pops
- Apple Cheddar English Muffins
- Whole Wheat or Baked Tortilla Chips and Homemade Guacamole or Salsa
- Ham or Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups (alone or with whole wheat tortillas)
- Carrot Sticks and Low Fat Ranch Dressing
