Whether your family prefers salty snacks or sweet, here are easy and healthy snack recipes to satisfy everyone's palate.
If your family is anything like mine, you're kids are on the go a lot. Although I still cook a lot, in the summer time, my kids can easily get in the habit of eating a lot of packaged snacks at the pool, sporting events, and camp.
So whenever possible, I try to make healthy snacks in advance. That way we can grab 'em and go whenever we want. Here are some of my favorites:
- Cheerios Breakfast Cookies -- They're not just for breakfast!
- Blueberry Corn Muffins -- Wholesome and delicious. A real winner with the kids.
- Healthy Snack Mix Recipe -- Tasty with a nice serving of iron and protein.
- Strawberry Smoothies -- Full of vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. Takes just minutes to make.
- Secret Ingredient Smoothies -- With a few oreos in this smoothie recipe, the kids will never taste the secret, uber-nutritious ingredient.
- Date Coconut Balls -- So sweet, yet so healthy. They taste almost like Hostess Crumb Donuts.
- Strawberry Fruit Pizza -- It tastes like dessert, but it offers a nice amount of protein, Vitamin C and calcium. And the kids love it. Although this one is best served when fresh, it'll keep for two days in the fridge.
