We all know it
just isn't economical (or healthy!) to throw in a full bag
of potato chips or a candy bar for a snack in your childs
lunchbox. So here are some great alternatives for snacks in
your child's lunchbox.
Fruit (apple
slices, grapes, melon) with a yogurt dip
Pretzels - take
one econo bag and split into smaller snack bags
Crackers - even
healthy crackers are available in flavors that appeal to
kids
Cherry tomatoes
- a great snack, and you can even grow your own!
Trail mix -
add a few M&Ms to really appeal to your kids.
Dried fruit
Cheese sticks
Hardboiled eggs
- even make it a fun time on the weekend to dye the shells
for the upcoming week of lunchtime snacks
Veggies with
dip (carrots, celery, peppers, red onions, tomatoes, mushrooms,
cucumbers).
All these great
and inexpensive ideas should help provide some variety in
your little one's lunches! Have more ideas? Add them to our
healthy
snack list on our forums!!
