"Kids love to snack, and the good news is that snacking is important to a child's well being.
Children are growing and developing rapidly. Active children have an increased need for energy as well as other essential nutrients, but they have small stomachs. They need to eat a lot, but have difficulty eating a lot at one time ... Here are some quick and easy snack ideas for you to try. Enjoy!
- English muffin pizzas with pineapple or tomato slice, mushrooms, etc.
- Baked potatoes with chili beans or broccoli and cheese.
- Waffles topped with fresh fruit. Choose fruits that are in season.
- Tortillas and beans.
- Yogurt and fruit topped with cereal (yogurt sundaes).
- Raw vegetables cut into slices or sticks with a yogurt dip. (Mix your favorite dry salad dressing mix into plain yogurt to make a great tasting low-fat dip!)
- Trail mix made with several types of cereal, dried fruit and nuts or sunflower seeds.
- Yogurt grahams. (Spread fruit-flavored yogurt on a graham cracker square, top with a second square. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze.) "
