Summer is approaching quickly which may mean kids are home and are
wanting to eat you out of house and home, at least I know that will be the
situation for me and my two girls. I
always like to have a lot of fruit on hand.
A variety of berries, watermelon, peaches, plums and cherries are some
of our favorite summer fruits. I also
like to have cut of veggies in the fridge at eye level which I store in a glass
container so it easy for them to see and grab on their own. My girls love cut up carrots, cucumbers, and
peppers in all colors. I usually just
cut up enough to last a few days as they tend to get limp quickly.
Aside from lots of fruits and veggies, goat cheese and almond
flour crackers is one of our go snacks as well as hummus and veggies, raw nuts,
nut butter/ rice cake sandwiches, chips and guacamole, and apples dipped in nut
butter. Organic plain full fat yogurt
drizzled with maple syrup or honey and some fruit is also a healthy option as
well as celery, sun butter, and raisins.
As for packaged snacks, here are some I like to keep on hand. All these snacks have minimal amounts of sugar
and are free of unhealthy oils, food dyes, artificial flavors, and artificial sweeteners. I shared the Amazon link below but many of
these products can be found at better prices at either at Vitacost, Thrive Market, Trader Joe’s or your local grocery store.
* Made Good Granola bars (I haven’t tried these
because we don’t eat oats but I hear they are kid approved.)
