A lot of you reading this have kids, and I often hear from people that they themselves can eat healthier but it's so hard with kids...or my kids won't eat any of that healthy stuff...or snacks are the hardest part! In our house, we don't have too much trouble with that. Don't get me wrong, our 3-year old loves treats and we definitely let her splurge sometimes when we are celebrating something or if we're having a vacation meal...but, overall we offer her healthy choices and she loves it! Here are just a few of her favorite snacks that we try to keep around the house at all times.
Organic Granny Smith Apples (plain or with almond butter)
Oranges
Grapefruit
Sweet Potato Fries (see previous recipe)
Raisins
Organic Fruit Strips/Leather (Target has great ones)
Carrot or Celery Sticks (plain or with hummus)
Cucumber slices
Avacado by the spoonful
Raw nuts
Trail Mix
Organic, Unsweetened apple sauce
Frozen Berries
Organic Granola Bar (occasionally)
We do allow her to snack often throughout the day, since she is eating healthy foods she needs to be eating often. I always try to keep a few snack options in my purse for when we are on the go...raisins, fruit strips, trail mix, and granola bars are easy to take with you so you don't get stuck somewhere with a crabby, hungry child!
