Healthy Kid (and mom!) Snacks

Posted by on Jul 17, 2008 in ShapeUpMom Blog | 0 comments

When we’re always on the go, it can seem harder to find the convenient and healthy snacks. Here are a few ideas on what I stash in my purse, bag or car as we’re out and about this summer.

  • Cut up veggies and fruits at one time for the whole week. Put in little baggies so they’ll be easy to grab and go.
  • Peanut butter (I like organic peanut butter) and sugar-free jelly is always a good choice. It sticks with them and provides energy for the rest of the day.
  • Pretzels to dip in cream cheese.
  • Often times I’ll put left over dinner items in little baggies (berries, chicken, etc.)
  • Piece of whole wheat bread.
  • String cheese or slice cheese.
  • Snap peas
  • Carrots, apples, bell peppers – anything crunchy you can replace that craving to munch on chips is a good thing!
