25 Healthy Snacks for Kids
February 17, 2015
Authored by Registered Dietitians at Day Kimball Healthcare
It seems that kids are always hungry - and why not, they're growing! But while they truly do need to snack, it can sometimes be a challenge to make sure those snacks are always giving them the good fuel they need.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has shared a list of 25 fun and healthy snacks for kids that we think is wonderful - and we bet your kids will, too!
Here are a few of our favorites...
Inside-Out Sandwich: Spread mustard on a slice of deli turkey and wrap around a sesame breadstick.
Apple Pie Oatmeal: Make one packet of microwave oatmeal with low-fat milk. Mix in 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. Sprinkle with apple pie spice or cinammon.
Parfait: Layer vanilla yogurt and mandarin oranges or blueberries in a tall glass. Top with a sprinkle of granola.
Banana Pop: Peel a banana and dip it in yogurt; roll in crushed cereal and freeze.
Snack Kabobs: Put cubes of low-fat cheese and grapes on pretzel sticks.
