Healthy Snacks for Kids
Every morning just before Sandy goes to school, I always ask what she wants for snack. The answers vary from, “I don’t know”, “not that I don’t like that” (in reply to my suggestions), “bread pan” and lastly, “how about chips”? I’m worried that she gets hungry in school, although she only spends one and a half hour there. I tried feeding her fried rice and bacon/hotdogs/eggs before she goes to school but she wakes up late lately that we have no time for it anymore. Which explains why I worry about her being hungry while “studying”.
Here’s what I’ve researched so far from this site.
- Snack size yoghurts, milk puddings and fruit cups….don’t forget a spoon
- Milk and milk shakes in a drinking box….keep some cold and ready to go
- Any fruit …grapes, orange wedges, cantaloupe slices, canned pineapple spears or chunks
- Vegetable sticks mixed with chunks of cheese
- Celery sticks filled with soft cheese or peanut butter; add a few crackers
- Crackers…bag them yourself or buy small portion packs
- Cheese
- Peanut butter and crackers
- Snack pack cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers
- Handful of wholegrain cereal……add a few grapes or small chunks of cheese
- Whole grain muffin
- Sandwich with a few slices of fruit
- Cold pizza slices
- Half bagel with cheese or peanut butter
- Popcorn or nuts for older children
On other kids, you can trick them by putting it in a cute container but it will never work on Sandy. Still, I’m hoping she’d try these. Maybe if I eat them myself, she would.
