Good snacks for children provide carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and some healthy fat. These snacks help children stay fuller for longer, and they’re packed with the nutrients kids need to thrive. Making your own snacks to have at home or take with you is usually your best, most budget-friendly choice. Try these: • Trail mix ingredients: 1/4 cup each: whole-grain cereal, raisins or dried cranberries, and 2 tablespoons each: sunflower seeds or chopped nuts. • Instant oatmeal made with milk in the microwave with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder stirred in and topped with sliced raspberries or strawberries. • Cherry chocolate smoothie: Combine 1 cup low-fat milk, 1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen or fresh pitted cherries, and 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth. -source: WEBMD
