This week I thought you might like to know what snack options my kids have. I try to change it up each week. Here's what's on our menu for this week. I actually plan our snacks for the week and post the list of options on the fridge. That way, my kids have a choice and I don't have to hear, "Mom, there's nothing to eat!" When my kids have options and at least a few things they enjoy, they are much more likely to make healthy choices!
Here's what's on my list:
Air popped popcorn with butter, Real Salt and nutritional yeast.
Luna bars. *some of them have added sugar and I stay away from those.
Hummus with fresh cut up veggies. I make my own because most of them have canola oil. If you can find one made with cold pressed olive oil, then store bought is fine. (Let me know below if you have a favorite brand.)
Kale chips.
Rice crackers with raw, organic cheese. Trader Joe's carries a great raw cheddar, though it's not organic.
Apples with nut butter.
Hard-boiled eggs.
Organic, Greek yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit or berries. You can even make a puree with raw honey, water, a pinch of salt and fruit blended in the blended.
I take some time on Sunday afternoon and make up everything needed for the week or I do a little after dinner during the week if I run out of time on the weekend.
Hope this helps give you some good snack ideas. What are your family's favorite snacks? Comment below to let us know!
