My kids love slices of apple and slices of organic, raw-milk cheddar eaten together in little “sandwiches.” I love roasted pumpkin seeds at this time of year — very satisfying!
I need that book because I’m always trying to think of new healthy snack ideas! I don’t have any good recipes! Although one snack we discovered our son likes is chips (we try to get ‘healthy’ ones) and a guacamole/salsa dip.
Some berries, bananas and yogurt all in the blender. To be drunk with a straw!
I am going to have to saute some apples since our oven is on the fritz!
Recipe for a favorite snack: Sliced persian cucumbers with a little kosher salt. Simple and satisfying. I have them available to eat along with other crunchy veggies while I am finishing dinner. It’s a great way to get those veggies into their tummies.
I have been searching for healthy, fun, simple snack ideas that will get my daughter’s attention. I sometimes use a tiny ducky cookie cutter to make duck-shaped cheese slices and she gobbles up every one (after making it “quack” of course!).
