Healthy Snacks For Kids: Smoothies

 

Today’s snack was nice and simple, but yummy and filling.  I put some cheese cubes on crackers, and made a smoothie for the drink.  Here’s the smoothie as I make it.

Pineapple Mango Smoothie

1 cup Orange Peach Mango juice 
1 container vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

Blend and serve. :)  I use Dole juice in a carton, it’s delicious, but any citrus juice would do.  I’ve also added frozen or fresh strawberries as well…let’s face it, smoothies are very customizable.  :)

Healthy Kid Snacks: Crunchy Apple Rings

 

My boys are pretty good about eating a variety of foods…ds2 will eat cherry tomatoes as snacks and ds3 does the same with salad.  Ds4…not so much.  Recently he has been on a poor eating run and I’m trying to ease him out of it.  I usually let the boys pick their own snacks but have decided to take over for a while until ds4 gets back on track.  Here is what we served for snack today.

These are so simple but so good!  I cored and sliced some yummy red delicious apples, spread on some peanut butter, and sprinkled them with Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Raisin Granola.  Yum!  Now hopefully those little tummies will survive until dinner time. :)
