If you are like us, then you are always on the lookout for healthy snack or meal ideas for your kids. With school beginning in about a week, these ideas might replace those expensive and unhealthy pre-packaged lunch options. Here are five quick, easy, affordable, and healthy snack ideas that we love.
We like to make wraps without the bread. We call them roll-ups. Trader Joes has a healthy Chia seed wrap that is great for introducing some variety. Sneak in lettuce, tomatoes or grated carrots to help get your children to eat their veggies. If you slice the lettuce really thin, they might not pick it out!
Greek yogurt poured over fruit can be a quick & healthy dessert.
Slicing up an apple, adding almond or peanut butter with some blueberries is a tasty treat for anyone in your family. We like to mix cinnamon in with the peanut butter for more flavor. Lemon squeezed on the apple helps prevent browning if you are packing this to go.
Organic strawberries with some almond slivers for ears, chia seeds for eyes and healthy fruit roll up for a tail is fun to make together if you have extra time.
For a great summertime snack, pour lemonade and frozen fruit together in a popsicle mold to create
homemade & healthy popsicles. We purchased our BPA-free molds from TJ Maxx for around $6.00.
Taking children shopping to find healthy items to pack might prove challenging. Challenge them to find five healthy things in the grocery store they would really like to eat. Have a healthy day!
