March healthy snacks back into your life

  • Take your kids to the grocery store and have them assist you in picking out snacks. Try to narrow it down to the healthier choices by comparing nutritional labels.
  • Pack healthy snacks in your kids backpack or lunchbox for them.
  • Have healthy snacks set up on the kitchen table for them to easily see.
  • Allow your child to help you make creative healthy snacks (for example, ants on a log).
  • Bring out a salad or vegetable for your kids to snack on while dinner is still being prepared.
  • Make some trail mix using cut fruit, oats, and nuts.  You can put it in a plastic Ziploc for your child to keep in their pockets.
