How to Turn Produce into Healthy Snacks! October 13-17 is National School Lunch Week. It’s a great opportunity to support the changes that are happening in schools. Bring some of the healthy changes home and try the following snacks: Krispy Kale Chips This unbelievable source of vitamins K, A, and C may become your new go-to late-afternoon snack. Place 1 large bunch raw kale leaves, stems removed, on a cookie sheet, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Healthy Apples Cinnamon-Spiced Baked Apples are a quick, healthy snack.Core a crisp apple (such as Granny Smith or Fuji) and put the wedges in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, then toss to cover. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on high. Add raisins or a dollop of nut butter after the apples cook. The apple is less than 90 calories and provides 3 grams of filling fiber; raisins also add more iron, vitamin C, and fiber.
