Throughout
the day you may hear multiple times “I’m hungry”. When you hear those words, you want to give
your little one a healthy snack that they will actually eat. Here are a few ideas for healthy fun snacks.
Fruit Skewer:
Cut a variety of fruit into bite-sized pieces and add them to a fancy
toothpick.
Dips: Select
some vegetables that your child likes and a few that you want them to try. Dips
can enhance the taste of bland vegetables. Try ranch, honey mustard, or
thousand island.
Stuffed
Celery: Fill the inside of celery stalks or cucumber slices with peanut butter
or flavored cream cheese. Use two different veggies together for a mixed veggie
treat.
Cheese:
String cheese or cheese cubes and cheese slices are always an easy snack.
Cheese quesadillas made with beans and fresh vegetable salsa can put a twist on
s cheesy meal.
Yogurt: Make
yogurt pops or smoothies with yogurt and fresh berries. Add granola, fresh
berries, and yogurt.
Hummus: This
is a tasty, healthy snack that is growing in popularity with kids. Serve hummus
with vegetables, salt free crackers, pretzels or even pita bread.
Spend time to
experiment with different food choices with your child. It will be a great
bonding experience and you you can get some healthy snacks into their diet. If
you child has food allergies be careful and consult your doctor before trying
new foods.
