Nutrious Snacks for Healthy Kids


My silly kids covering their eyes with carrot coins.

Every week as we put together the grocery shopping list, I'm overwhelmed with how much these kids eat.  Especially my oldest.  He's a "human trash compactor."  Any other Mamas shouting out a "Hallelujah"?  These are just a few of the snacks that I reach for over and over again. 

Fruit Based Snacks
Any fresh fruit
Baked apple with cinnamon
Applesauce
Dried fruit
Frozen banana with chocolate
Raisins
Homemade popsicles
Fruit and yogurt
Smoothies

Veggie Based Snacks
Any fresh veggies
Veggies with hummus or bean dip
Pita chips and salsa
Ants on a log
Tomato and cucumber salad
Jicama and salsa
Tomato topped with toasted Parmesean


Crunchy snacks
Popcorn
Pretzels
Edamame with sea salt
Toasted nuts
Nut bars

Protein snacks
Cottage cheese and crackers
Turkey rolled in lettuce
String cheese
Greek yogurt and jam
Hard boiled eggs

Goofy girl!
